Why is Saul regarded as the first legitimate king of Israel? And how did he come into his kingship? Find out in today's episode!
In this week's episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew, we dive deep into the tale of Saul and how he became Israel's legitimate king.
As you might already know, technically, Saul was not Israel's first king. That title goes to Abimelech.

Which is exactly why Saul is regarded as Israel's first legitimate king.
But, who was Saul exactly? And how did he come into his power?
