Change is inevitable. However, whether change is good or bad depends on each individual. In the Bible, Saul is described, at the beginning, as being “a handsome man, and [that] there was no person more beautiful than he among the songs of Israel; from his shoulders and above he was greater than any people,” an image that seems most worthy of a king (1 Samuel 9:2). Conveniently, due to the people's complaints and the lack of a king, Samuel finds Saul, the son of Kish of the tribe of Benjamites, with the help of God's guidance and Saul is anointed as Israel's first king. As king, Saul plays valiant roles in battle and leads Israel with confidence. Yet, over time, Saul begins to undergo a transformation that will bring him closer to his “darker” side, with each sin adding to the previous flaw. It all seems to begin when Saul disobeys God's orders, given through Samuel, to destroy all the Amalekites, sparing the life of Agag, the best livestock, and keeping himself from "good things" (1 Samuel 15). : 9). The change Saul experiences is shaped by his flaws – greed, jealousy, selfishness – which permeate his character, ultimately leading to his demise. First of all, Saul's strengths before his change include his self-sufficiency and his strong hold on Israel. Saul is a character who seems to fend for himself in risky situations, such as when Saul was at war with the Philistines, he was waiting for Samuel but when Samuel was delayed in coming to Gilgal, Saul took matters into his own hands to please. the Israelites, who were agitated (1 Samuel 13:8-9). Furthermore, Saul commands as king and remains faithful to his role, as he meets the needs of the Israelites while holding the power to make the people obey his words...... middle of paper.. .... o that he could watch over him and kill him when the time comes (1 Samuel 18:21). Finally, the most apparent fault is jealousy, which takes root when he hears the people say: "Saul has killed his thousands, And David his ten thousand" (1 Samuel 18-7) and flourishes because he does not is no longer the “anointed king of God”. For example, Saul is overcome with anger and jealousy because he simply throws a spear at David, while David plays the harp for him (1 Samuel 18:10-11). Additionally, Saul continues to pursue David out of malice and pure jealousy and relentlessly targets David, even calling him an enemy, when his own daughter lets him go (1 Samuel 19:17). This is Saul's most dangerous flaw and the irreversible turning point in his transformation, as he loses control of his logical mind, even throwing a spear at his own son Jonathan for letting David go (1 Samuel 20:33).
