First Samuel records the history of Israel in the land of Canaan as they move from the rule of judges to being aunified nation under kings. Samuel emerges as the lastjudge, and he anoints the first two kings, Saul and David.The tragic story of Saul is a study in wasted opportunity.Here was a man who had it all, yet he died in despair,terrified of his enemies and knowing he had failed hisnation, his family, and his God. In contrast, the humilityand integrity of David, coupled with his boldness for theLord and his commitment to prayer, set a good examplefor all of us and we can learn many lessons from the livesof these characters.
