Turn of events
"This turn of events was the will of God."
(2 Chronicles 11:15)
So this is the story of Saul and his sons, and boy oh boy is it a juicy and crazy family story! I'm going to try and write it as best as possible!
To tell his story we have to go way back to a time before Israel had a human King, because God alone was their King. They demanded to be like the other societies who had a person to boss them around. God demanded their understanding that that ideology was not what they wanted, a King would only bring sorrow and stress. But they refused to listen to an all powerful God so a King is reluctantly what He gave them. The Kings daughter fell in love with a boy named David whom was prophesied to become the next King, they married and her father wouldn't stop trying to kill him. Eventually this angered God to the point of Sauls and his son deaths. One son escaped before the war and came back wanting to dethrone King David...or more so take it before he could come into power. When he (Rehoboam- Saul's son) met with the Northern tribes of Israel to discuss his leadership plans, rather than listening to his fathers advisors wise advice of ""If you are good to these people and do your best to please them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your loyal subjects."" (2 Chronicles 10:7)
ALL THEY WANTED WAS A LIGHTER BURDEN!
poor babies.
They were being worked so hard with little food. And he threatened to beat them with scorpions rather than whips like his father did!
But his foolishness was God's doing, that too was prophesied long ago.
David was always meant to be King. He was righteous and highly favored.
