Saul, first king of Israel. A tall, dark, handsome man with so much potential. He was a courageous soldier with songs written about his exploits, he was wealthy, he had Samuel the prophet as his personal teacher and counselor. Loyal, valiant men stood by his side, ready to do his bidding. Saul had it all. But he lost his head over a sand-witch and his life was ended in an untimely, undignified manor

Did you know that God took Israels' call for a king personally. God told the people of Israel that He was the only king they needed, but they wanted a man to represent them so God said so be it. I think it would be very interesting to see how Israel would do with God leading them instead of a king. I think it would be interesting , for that matter, to see if the whole world would let go and let God lead. No more corruption in government for sure. The love of money and or power is the root of all evil. Man will always be corrupted by this, therefor we should never give absolute power to any government on earth. Mind your own and live by the golden rule and let God take care of the rest.

It was Saul. He was anointed by the last judge of Israel, Samuel. After Saul was David and Solomon. Afterward, the kingdom of Israel was divided up (not split evenly). Ten tribe and two tribe kingdoms of Israel existed. They stayed separated.
