-===Biblical Narrative===
+The two Books of Samuel focus on God's kingship over Israel, showing the contrasts between the reigns of [[King David]] and King Saul. There are some important similarities between the two kings: both were appointed by [[God]] ([[1 Samuel 9:19]], [[1 Samuel 16:13]]); both had popular support ([[1 Samuel 10:24]], [[1 Samuel 11:12]], [[1 Samuel 18:7]]); and importantly, both gave exclusive worship to God, unlike David's son King [[Solomon]], who worshipped foreign gods.
-===Saul's reign in its theological context===
+There are, however, significant differences in their reigns. In particular, the [[Old Testament]] shows that David honored God as the divine king, whereas Saul did not and as such God rejected Saul's dynasty but blessed David's dynasty ([[1 Samuel 15:26]]). Saul's dishonor of God as the divine king can be seen particularly when he refused to heed the message of God's instruction through a prophet ([[1 Samuel 13:13]], [[1 Samuel 15]]:22-24). David on the other hand, repented and accepted God's message through the prophet Nathan ([[2 Samuel 24]]:18-19).
