    King Saul
    Based on aboutbibleprophecy.com, Saul was the first king of Israel. He was the son of
    Kish of the tribe of Benjamin. He became king at about the time that Samuel had retired as the
    last Judge of Israel. Although the land of Israel had been ruled by judges, the people were
    clamoring to have a king, like other nations. Samuel asked the Lord for advice. God directed
    Samuel to Saul and to anoint him as the first king. Saul, his army, and a miracle from God,
    defeated the Philistines in their first battle. He then defeated Moab, Ammon, Edom, the kings of
    Zobah, and the Amalekites. However Saul did not obey the Lord, and kept some of the loot after
    defeating the Amalekites. For this, God rejected Saul as king of Israel. King Saul died at Mount
    Gilboa.

    King David (1040-970 BCE)


    David was the youngest son of Jesse, the great-grandson of Boaz and Ruth, born in
    Bethlehem in the tribe of Judah. He was handpicked by God, anointed by Samuel, and became
    Israel's second, and greatest, king. David committed adultery with Bathsheba and sent her
    husband Uriah to his death. For this, God rebuked David through Nathan the prophet, and told
    David that murder will be a constant threat to his family from this time on. David's first child by
    Bathsheba died seven days after birth. One of David's sons, Absalom, killed his half-brother
    Amnon, after Amnon raped Absalom's sister, Tamar. Later, Absalom revolted against his father
    David and tried to take over the throne, but was killed by Joab, David's army commander.
    Another son of David, Adonijah, was killed soon after David died.

    King Solomon (970-931 BC)


    The biblical King Solomon was known for his wisdom, his wealth and his writings. He
    was the third king of Israel. His crowning achievement was the building of the Holy Temple in
    Jerusalem. Almost all knowledge of him is derived from the biblical books of Kings I and
    Chronicles II. God appeared to Solomon in a dream and promised him anything he asked.
    Solomon chose understanding and discernment. God was so pleased with the request that he
    granted it, along with great riches and power.

    Solomon's downfall began when he married the daughter of the Egyptian Pharaoh to seal a
    political alliance. He could not control his lust. Among Solomon's 700 wives and 300 concubines
    were many foreigners, which angered God. The inevitable happened: They lured King Solomon
    away from Yahweh into worship of false gods and idols.
    Over his 40-year reign, Solomon did many great things, but he succumbed to the temptations of
    lesser men. The peace a united Israel enjoyed, the massive building projects he headed, and the
    successful commerce he developed became meaningless when Solomon stopped pursuing God.
    King Solomon died of natural causes at 80 years of age. His death split the kingdom of Israel.
