Both were anointed as kings by Samuel, both started their reign well both fell astray. But David repented after Nathan pointed out to David that he had sinned greatly. Saul did not listen to god. David wanted to build the temple but god was against it as he had blood on his hands, so King Solomon built it.

Saul and David were both kings of Israel, chosen by God. They were both skilled warriors and military leaders. However, Saul let jealousy and fear control his actions, leading to his downfall, whereas David was characterized by his faith in God and repentance for his sins. David is also known for his musical talents and psalms, while Saul struggled with obeying God's commands.

Saul and David are similar because they were both kings and both male. they are different because David was a great person and everybody liked him and nobody liked Saul because he was mean and cruel and wanted to kill David.

The difference between King Saul and King David is that even though both failed and sinned David repented after he omitted adultery, and even wrote a Psalm on it, But Saul refused to listen to both God and Samuel as well. In the end Saul I have run a bad race.

Saul was a Benjamite and the first divinely chosen king of Israel. (1Samuel 9:15+16; 10:1) He was a handsome man and much taller than most, and came from a wealthy family. (1Samuel 9:1+2; 2Samuel 1:23)

David was a descendant of Judah through Boaz. His father was a farmer and David was a shepherd most of his young life. He had 'beautiful eyes' and was an accomplished musician and orchestral organizer at the Temple.(Matthew 1:3-6, 1Chronicles 25:1, 1Samuel 16:1-13, Acts 13:22). He was also a valiant man of war, fighting in the wars of Israel.

Solomon was the son of David, in the line of Judah, and was a man of peace (1Chronicles 22:6-10) and so was allowed to build God's Temple.

They were all Kings

Answer 2

Saul, David and Solomon were the first three Israelite kings, in that order. All three were righteous, but Saul made the error of thinking that David threatened his power, and he pursued David.

David himself can and should be shortlisted as one of the greatest servants of God who ever lived; and this despite many travails and implacable enemies.

Solomon lived in an era of peace, and took it upon himself to influence the surrounding nations.

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.

What was the purpose of David's army collecting foreskins of his enemies to bring to Saul?

King Saul was jealous of David, but Saul offered his daughter, Michal to David as a wife. David said he was too poor to give a dowry to Saul for his daughter, but Saul said he wanted no dowry, but wanted David to avenge him (Saul) upon the Philistines by bringing 100 foreskins of the enemy back to him. But Saul's motive was not what he said, but rather he wanted David to engage in battle with the Philistines in hopes that David would be killed.
