The biblical narrative unfolds in the ancient land of Israel, marked by a yearning for a unifying leader among the tribes.
​
This stage is about the Kings of Israel and the things they've done.
​
The transition from judges to kings is initiated with the anointment of Saul, a young man chosen by God through the guidance of the prophet Samuel. However, Saul's reign takes a turn when he disobeys God's explicit instructions after a victorious battle against the Amalekites.

This anointment sets the stage for the famous confrontation between David and Goliath, illustrating the power of faith and courage in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges.
​
David's reign as king is marked by both successes and moral failures. His genuine repentance following the sin with Bathsheba showcases the complexities of human nature and the consequences of straying from God's path. The birth of Solomon, David's successor, represents God's mercy and forgiveness.
​
A Short Summary
From Saul's rise to David's affair with Bathsheba , David committed a terrible sin due to his lust and desire for Bathsheba. He made amends by acknowledging his wrongdoing, repenting sincerely, and seeking God’s forgiveness.
​
Solomon, chosen by God to succeed David, seeks wisdom rather than material wealth. His request for discernment allows him to rule justly and earn God's favor. Solomon's reign is characterized by prosperity and harmony, demonstrating the impact of wise leadership guided by divine principles.
