Acts has Barnabas assigned as a mentor to Saul, later named Paul, by the Jerusalem elders in order to educate him and play a part in the Gentile church as an equal to Paul. This compares to Paul's own account, in which Barnabas was never more than a loyal assistant. The effect in Acts is to diminish somewhat the significance of Paul's role in the spread of Christianity, raising questions about the objectivity of its author.

Who drove the Philistines out of Israel and move the capital to Jerusalem?

King David. When he was a young lad he was sent by his father to check on his brothers who were serving with King Saul's army. He accepted the challenge of Goliath for one on one combat to settle the battle between Saul and the Philistines. He found Saul's armour to heavy but defeated Goliath with a sling and stone in the Valley of Ela. (1st Samuel - Chapter 17) He went on to be Saul's son in law, confidant of Jonathan (Saul's son), and (estranged) member of Saul's court. David eventually succeeded Saul. He reigned for 7 years in Hebron and then established his capital in Jerusalem where he reigned for 33 years.) He was succeeded by his son Solomon who built the First Temple.

What two biblical incidents tell of Saul meeting David?

A:1 Samuel 16:13 tells of Saul meeting David, son of Jesse, and of Saul anointing David with oil. 1 Samuel 16:21 says that, Saul having sent again for David, David came to him and became his armour bearer. 1 Samuel 17:31-32 says that David came to Saul, proposing to slay Goliath, and Saul gave David his own armour. 1 Samuel 17:58 then says that after killing Goliath, David came again to Saul, but Saul did not even recognise him. The author of this particular narrative seems unaware that elsewhere in the book, David had already been the king's armour bearer and then his personal musician.
