Best Answer

Saul was tall and handsome and had won many battles. I'm in 6th grade and where learning about the kingdom of Israel. Saul didn't exactly play a big factor in Israel but was important for defeating the Israelites' enemies battle after battle. However according to the Hebrew Bible, their king, meaning Saul, displeased God then by disobeying some of his commandments. God then chose another King and instructed Samuel to anoint him in secret. The new king was a young shepherd named David.
