Relate how Israel asked for a king to rule them and identify the consequences of the king's disobedience to God

Demand For The
Monarchy. (1 Samuel 8:1-5):

Samuel became the next judge of Israel
after Eli’s death.
When he became old, he made his sons (Joel and Abijah) judges
in Israel,
These children judged Israel from Beersheba to Dan.
Unfortunately, they did not walk in the ways of the Lord as their father did.
They took bribes and perverted justice.

They said to him ‘Behold you are
old and your sons do not walk in your ways’,
Then, Israel felt like
having a king to govern her as the other nations around her.

Saul became disobedient when he spared kingAgag of Amalekand the best of

started haunting him.
Music was needed to soothe Saul anytime the torments
started; hence, the employment of David to play the lyre to relieve him.
The worst evil came to Saul when he and his three sons were killed in a war
against the Philistines at Mount Gilboa.
The Philistines placed his head
and armour in the temple of their God, and displayed his body on the wall of
Bethsham for the public,
