The Beginning of the End
had brought down blessings, for a king who had prayed for a curse
upon them. If the men of Israel had not intervened, Jonathan, their
deliverer, would have died by the king’s decree. Afterward, as the
people followed Saul’s guidance, what doubts they must have had!
How bitter the thought that Saul had been placed on the throne by
their own act!
