(1 Samuel 9-31; 2 Samuel 1-24; 1 Kings 1-22; 2 Kings 1-25; 1 Chronicles 10-29; 2 Chronicles 1-36)
It
came to the point where the Israelites were not satisfied having only God
as their king. They wanted to have a human king just like the nations
around them. Although God knew that this request was a rejection of Him,
He allowed Samuel (the last of the judges) to anoint a king for the
Israelites. This first king was Saul. For about the next 500 years the
Israelites were ruled by various kings.
