Finished: Feb. 2
Notes: Last year I began reading the Bible in bits and starts, so now I continue to keep at it. This book, and the one that follows it, are basically the story of King David's life.
Mini review: The Hebrews beseech the prophet Samuel for a king, and despite God's misgivings, Saul is decided upon. However, Saul sins against God, so God decides David would be a better king. Then much of this book entails Saul hunting to slay David and David time and time again either going into hiding or asking Saul why he wants David dead, to which there is no good reason other than fear and jealousy. In the end, Saul is killed in a battle that does not involve David, and this is pretty much where this book ends. David has not been crowned yet, but that's coming.
