The story of King Saul forms
one Of the most tragic and yet
colorfuli chapters in the Bible.
The spectacular failure often is
a more romantic figure than the
man who is consistently success
full.
Saul, first king of Israel, was
a figure that was at once dra-
matte and tragic. He was a
fighter of undoubted ability. 1t
was due to his military exploits
that the warning tribes of the
nation were in great measure
subdued.
Saul was essentially a fighter.
He was not a statesman. He
carried out no building program.
Under him, Israel made little or
no progress in the arts and
crafts. But Saul was, in a
measure, a man for the time.
The greatness of David and
Solomon was largely built on the
military exploits of Saul.
Throughout the early history
of the Jews, the Philistines were
their enemies. These Philistines
were a savage and warlike peo-
pie. Against them Saul waged
perpetual warfare. Sometimes
he was successful; often he
failed.
The last years of Saul were
clouded with an intermittent
melancholia that bordered on
actual insanity. The king was
given to fits of depression in
which he would sit for hours be-
fore his tent in gloomy intro
spection. The ancients evidently
knew of the soothing power Of
music, for the young David was
called upon to play upon his
musical instruments and sing to
Saul in the kings melancholy
moods.
David, the sweet singer Of
Israel, no doubt, composed many
of his psalms in his capacity as
court poet and musician. But
David was more than a singer;
he was more than a shepherd
boy. He had a rare courage and
