description: David new shepherd and youngest of eight doesnt want to fight. He wants to disappear to be alone with his sheep. His brothers mock him his father ignores him and even the sheep he protects flee him. Yet he was born for more. Yahweh has called him beyond the fields of little Bethlehem.He has called him to greatness.Saul is king of Israel. Its first. Chosen by Yahweh and anointed by Samuel the prophet he leads the fledgling nation as he defends its borders with shaky hands. Chosen and anointed he may be but he is also a failure. Hounded by fear and anger and doubt he is quickly losing his tenuous grip on the nation. Yahweh has new plans for Saul.And it does not involve a crown.When God speaks shepherds and kings will hear. But will they obey?
