Listen up recruits! This is 1 SAMUEL 11! Saul is anointed King of Israel and he defeats the Ammonites with help from the Lord. The Ammonites have been causing trouble for the people of Jabesh-Gilead, so Saul marches his troops to their city and defeats the Ammonites! The people of Jabesh-Gilead are so thankful, they give Saul and his troops a hero's welcome. Saul then sets up a monarchy and reigns over all of Israel. That's it for 1 Samuel 11! Do you have any questions?
