Saul banned all mediums then disguised himself to visit one — the hypocrisy was giving main character villain 💀
With the Philistines massing for battle and God ghosting all his prayers, Saul was desperate. He'd previously banned all mediums and spiritists from Israel but snuck out in disguise to visit the witch of Endor. She summoned Samuel's spirit, who basically said 'why are you bothering me? God already told you — tomorrow you and your sons die.' Saul collapsed in terror. The medium had to convince him to eat something before sending him off to his doom.
Saul is desperate, God isn't answering, and the Philistines are pulling up. So he does the one thing he literally made illegal — visits a medium to summon Samuel's spirit. What he hears destroys him.
1 SamuelWhen Your Opps Won't Let You RideDavid's been living with the Philistines on the DL, but when it's time to go to war against Israel, the Philistine commanders aren't having it. Achish vouches for him, but David gets sent packing — and honestly, God just saved him from the most awkward situation ever.
1 SamuelWhen You Come Home and Everything's GoneDavid comes home to find Ziklag burned and everyone kidnapped, his own men want to stone him, and he's at the lowest point of his life. What happens next is a masterclass in leading from rock bottom — turning to God first, recovering everything, and then making sure everyone eats equally.
1 SamuelThe Final LThe Philistines catch up to Saul on Mount Gilboa and it's over. Saul and his sons fall in battle, Israel scatters, and the warriors of Jabesh-gilead risk everything to bring their bodies home. The reign of Israel's first king ends the way it was always heading.
