1	Saul	United	Reign	40	1 Sam 13:1; Acts 13:21	0	0	AA	1050	1010	Saul was the son of Kish, who was the son of Ner. Saul was the first king of Israel. He was chosen king by Samuel by lot in a meeting of all Israel leaders. However, the Lord had Samual anoint him as king several days before. Samuel was very displeased that Israel would have a king. While Saul showed humility before Samual and said that he was from a family among the least of the Benjamites, he was actually from a very powerful family. Saul was made as king by the Lord to defeat the Philistines, but his first action was to unite Israel to defeat the Ammonites at Jabesh-gilead. Saul organized an army against the Philistines but was a foolish leader. However, his son Jonathan had a great victory against the Philistines. The Lord had Samuel order Saul to totally destroy Amalek. However, Saul spared the king of the Amalekites and kept the best of the livestock. The Lord expressed to regret Samuel for making Saul king because Saul did not follow the Lord and Samuel rebuked Saul. The Lord had Samuel anoint David as king. David was placed in Saul's court, but Saul envied him. Saul tried to kill David, but David fled. David had a chance to kill Saul but spared him. Saul turns to the occult for advice. Saul and Jonathan were killed in one last battle with the Philistines. The length of Saul's reign in 1 Sam in the English translations are not there in the Hebrew text. They are inferred from Acts and other writings. He is not to be confused with Saul (Paul) of the New Testament. ^{[ 3 ]} Link: Saul Tree:Saul
2	Ish-Bosheth	United	Reign	2	2 Sam 2:10	0	1	AA	1010	1008	Ish-bosheth (Eshbaal) is the youngest son of Saul. After Saul was killed, he was made king over Israel with the help of Abner, commander of Saul's army. He was 40 years old when he became king. Ish-bosheth lost a civil war with David. After Ish-bosheth rebuked Abner for an intimacy with Rizpah, Saul's concubine, Abner joined David against Ish-bosheth. Two of Ish-bosheth 's commanders betrayed him and killed him. David killed the betrayers. Link: Saul Tree:Ish-bosheth (Eshbaal)
3	David	United	Reign	40	2 Sam 5:4	0	1	AA	1010	970	In 1 Ch 2:13-15 David is named as the seventh son of Jesse, but in 1 Sam 17:12 it says Jesse had 8 sons and David was the youngest. It is not known which son is unnamed. David's mother is not named in the bible, but her name is given as Nitzevet in the Talmud. "The grace of God was evident in that He included several non-Israelites in the line of David. Since this was the line through which Christ came, it foreshadowed God's inclusion of Gentiles in the work of David's greater Son, the Lord Jesus Christ." Four non-Israelite women are included in Christ's genealogy. Tamar was moat likely a Canaanite (Gen 38:1-6) and the mother of Judah's child Perez (Ruth 4:12). Rahab was a Canaanite harlot in Jericho (Jos 2:1) and ancestress of Boaz (Mat 1:5). Ruth, a Moabite (Ru 1:4), was David's great grandmother (Mat 1:5). The Moabites are a tribe descended from a incestuous relation between Lot and his older daughter (Gen 19:36-37). And, Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon by David (2 Sa 12:24), was probably a Hittite (2 Sa 11:3). Links: David_Genealogy Tree:David , David_Family Tree:David
