The Israelite country of Israel (formerly called Canaan) had already been functioning for hundreds of years by the time of Saul.
Saul's contributions:
- He, as the very first Israelite king, set up the apparatus of royalty and its institutions.
- He put Israel's enemies to shame (1 Samuel 14:47-48).
- Under the guidance of Samuel, he united the Israelite tribes.
- He briefly experienced prophecy.
- He enforced the observance of the Torah (see 1 Samuel 28:3).
1) King David authored/compiled the book of Psalms (Talmud, Bava Batra 14b).
2) King David subdued all of the surrounding nations.
3) He secured from the prophet Nathan a promise from God that his (David's) son Solomon would build the Holy Temple.
4) He set the blueprints, with Divine inspiration, for the Holy Temple.
5) He amassed vast amounts of material for the construction of the Temple (1 Chronicles ch.29).
6) Together with Samuel, he instituted the 24 groupings of families of Kohanim and Levites (Talmud, Taanit 27a).
7) He served God all the days of his life (1 Kings 11:38); and God was with him (1 Samuel 16:18).
8) King David serves as the archetype of the effectiveness of repentance (Talmud, Avodah Zarah 4b).
- Solomon's contributions:
1) King Solomon built the First Temple in Jerusalem.
2) Through his vast God-given wisdom (1 Kings ch.3), he spoke and taught about God's creations, influencing many nations (at least temporarily) to recognize the wisdom of God.
During Solomon's time, the Israelites enjoyed unequaled prosperity (1 Kings 4:20).
3) King Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes (Kohellet), Proverbs, and Song of Songs.
