no king in Israel; all the people did what was right in their own eyes” (21:25). Disregarding what they were told and how destructive their decision for a king would be, they still chose having a king of their own.

My drama class went to watch a play called the Scottsboro Boys on the 19th November. I had never seen a live play before, well a professional live play so I didn’t know what to expect when I went to watch this with my drama class. I knew a little bit about the story as our teacher had previously explained the main parts of the story a few weeks back, for e.g. that the Scottsboro boys were 9 black boys accused of rape in Alabama in 1931 but it turned out that they were wrongly accused by two white

He deliberately disobeyed God’s demand to destroy all Amalekites (1 Samuel 15:18). Because he no longer acted within God’s limits as king, he was stripped of favor. Saul’s disobedience required Samuel to deliver God’s message to the person that would replace Saul as king. The prophet Samuel delivered God’s message to David that he would one day be king and rule over God’s people while Saul was still ruling the kingdom (1 Samuel 16:1-13). I believe David had such a prosperous reign as king because
