=__A R T I C L E: __= === Believed through the Hebrew Bible, Saul was the first declared Saint of the Kingdom of Israel. The first image above shows Saul and his sword at Mount Gilboa, during the fierce battle against the Philistines. This was also the time when three of his sons were killed,except for his only surviving son, Ish-bosheth and David. Ish-bosheth was the second chosen king of the Kingdom of Israel. He was chosen right after his father and three brothers have died, and was the new representative of the twelve tribes, also known as the Israelites. The captain of Saul's army, Abner, proclaimed Ish-bosheth to become the king. Saul was convinced and controlled by an evil spirit, which led him into deciding to kill a son of Jesse, named David. Saul's name of origin meant "he is dedicated to Yahweh". Samuel was the narrative explanation for the birth of Saul. This was given to Samuel to enhance the lives of David and Saul. Different religions had many answers about Saul killing David, but this was never really confirmed. ===
