Saul takes his own life

1 Chronicles 10: 1 - 14

Saul, king of the Israelites was on the brink of losing a war he was fighting against the Philistines. His enemies are now near victory, and they were that close to cornering him. He thought he'd rather die than being abused by his enemies upon capture, so requested that one of his men to kill him with a sword. That man wouldn't, so Saul did the deed himself.

His death came about as result of his disobedience to the Lord in various things. His throne then was passed to David, just as the Lord promised.

Lessons

• Never mess with the Lord - we'd definitely pay.
• His words always come to pass - be it good news or bad news.
