The first man to reign over the nation of Israel. Saul was a descendant of Benjamin, who was one of the 12 sons of Jacob, Saul was a Benjamite.
(Tribe of Benjamin).
Prior to king Saul, God was the only king Israel had as a nation. The Lord, Creator of all things, the True and LIVING GOD, the God of Israel, JESUS as their KING!
But Israel rejected God and insisted the prophet Samuel provide them a man to rule over them.
Absolutely contrary to the plan of God.
Israel, the Lord's Priesthood Nation, in an attempt to be like the other nations, demanded a man to rule over us. A position unfortunately maintained by many "black" people even today.
As most of us still insist "I ain't nobody's slave!"
HERE IS A GLIMPSE OF WHAT MAN'S DEFINITION OF FREEDOM ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE! SEE IF ANY OF IT RINGS FAMILIAR TO YOU.
(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king.
And he said, this will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive yards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day.
Nevertheless, the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
1 Samuel 8:7-22 KJV

Brothers and sisters, this was a system of governance the children of Israel did not suffer before they jettisoned the Lord GOD as their king.
Mind you, the Lord delivered Israel out of Egypt, destroyed the place, and all of the nations (and their gods), as the Lord brought Israel on their way to the promised land. Territory that God took from Canaan the son of Ham, (Hamites/Africans).
While feeding Israel angel food (from heaven), water to drink when there was none, their clothes did not wax old.
During which time GOD made Israel an extremely rich and feared people among the nations.
Then We Turned Our Backs on GOD, and began to worship gods that be no gods, even today!
DOES ANY OF THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?
INDEED! A NATION OF INSOLENT HOMEBORN SLAVES!
VAIN WICKEDNESS!
Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying, tomorrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me. And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
1 Samuel 9:1-27 KJV

But King Saul later had six sons!
Three of whom died with him because of his disobedience.
Jonathan
Abinadab
Malchishua
Ishbosheth
Mephibosheth
Armoni
One of the most important lessons we learn from king Saul are the issues that led to his death, and that of three of his sons.
A particularly important lesson for those of us who've been taught it's unimportant that we follow the Lord's directions and protocols.
"How could God do such a thing, he or she was a good person!"
By disobeying the Lord and seeking to communicate with the dead (evil spirit), the Lord took the kingdom from Saul giving it to King David, later sending Saul to his death.
Let's read what actually happened!
Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying, it repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments.
And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better than thou. And also, the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul: and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
1 Samuel 15:1-35 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/1sa.15.1-35.KJV
KING SAUL KNEW HE WAS COMMITTING A SIN.
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city.
And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
Then said Saul unto his servants, seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
1 Samuel 28:3-20 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/1sa.28.3-20.KJV
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi–shua, the sons of Saul.
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
Then said Saul to his armourbearer, draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So, Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
So, Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together. So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the Lord: therefore, he slew him and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
1 Chronicles 10:1-14 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/1ch.10.1-14.KJV
SAUL COMMITTED SUICIDE!
(Can't repent from THAT!)
Saul's children knew the Lord was no longer with their father, and he'd chosen David to be king over Israel.
Yet they followed pops anyway. Causing their own deaths!
