The First King Who Lost His Throne to a Shepherd Boy Saul Bible Story

God did not find Saul on a throne. He found him hiding among the baggage, a humble young man searching for lost donkeys, and made him king. Saul started with everything: the Spirit of God, a stunning first victory, and the love of a nation. But his problem was never greatness. It was obedience. One small compromise at a time, Saul chose his own way over God's, until the kingdom was torn from his hands and given to a shepherd boy he could not stop loving, and then could not stop hunting. This is the full story of King Saul, the first king of Israel, from the day God chose him to his final night on Mount Gilboa, and the warning hidden in a man who wept over his sin but never truly changed.
