The Story
ENTER THE STORY
Weary of uncertainty and the wandering days of judges, Israel demands a king so it can be like the nations around it. Samuel anoints the tall, reluctant young man named Saul — and warns the people, in stark words, exactly what their king will cost them.

THE PLAYERS
Mentor
Samuel
The last judge of Israel, who anoints its first king and warns the people what a monarch will cost. His prophetic voice measures every ruler against the word of God — and rarely finds any wanting.
Protagonist
Saul
A tall, striking and initially reluctant man anointed king of Israel. Every victory raises expectations, and each command from Samuel tests whether he believes authority belongs to him or merely passes through him.
