Saul was the first king whom God had chosen to lead and represent His people (the twelve tribes of Israel) and righteous government on earth. Notably‚ Saul won many battles for Israel because God was fighting with him. However‚ Saul’s relationship with God turned fruitless when he disobeyed God’s Holy instructions to eliminate all the Amalekites and their livestock (1 Samuel 15:3).

the book of Acts‚ on the way to Damascus‚ Saul the Pharisee fell to the ground when he heard the voice of Christ saying to him‚ ’Saul‚ Saul‚ why do you persecute me?’ Saul then temporarily lost his sight.

The story of Saul is a unique one with a fairy tale opening and a horror story ending. Saul went from being the pick of the litter to be dragged around and disgraced in death by his own actions. That’s one extreme to another‚ you may ask how and why this happen. Why did God allow His first king to go out in such a horrible way‚ his head cut off‚ no armor and laid there in disgrace before God’s enemies as they rejoiced and laughed. Saul was God’s chosen man for a new direction for the nation of Israel

Eliza is the most complex of all the characters and also the most interesting. Aaron‚ Miriam‚ and Saul are all of about the same complexity and are only slightly simpler than Eliza in their characterization.

In this sentence‚ Defoe references to what Saul told the ghost of Samuel‚ “I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me‚ and God is departed from me‚ and answereth me no more‚ neither by prophets‚ nor by dreams”(I Samuel 28:15).
