1 Chronicles 10: Benjamin's Tragedy in Saul

Our reading now goes from genealogies to historical narratives. The final events of the lives of Saul and his sons (first told at the end of 1 Samuel) is given in this short chapter. The promising beginning of Saul’s reign ended in disaster and an apparent victory for the lifeless gods of the Philistines. Think seriously as you read verses 13 and 14 a few times.
