#245 | 1 Samuel ch.11 - Saul Proves Himself

King Saul has been crowned, not once - but twice! But he is in denial. He returns to his farm and hardly acts as a king. But our chapter represents a tipping point. Responding to an act of oppression on the Benjaminite town of Yavesh Gilad, the "spirit of God" rests on Shaul, and he leads the nation in a perfectly executed battle, defeating the enemy and proving that he can act as the national leader.
