🚩The life of #Saul is a sober warning example for #Christians today🚩
#ProphetSamuel anointed him as Israel's 1st king. Initially, Saul was #humble ~ even doubting being selected 4 such an honorable role.(1Samuel 9:21)
Over time, #KingSaul grew prideful/haughty #jealous esp concerning #David who was a mighty warrior. On 1 occasion, David was honored among the people in song ... MORE SO, than Saul: the beginning of Saul's fall due 2 #PRIDE
~ Giving/Receiving godly discipline is critical to remain in God's love. Where/Why did #priestEli go awry?
https://www.christianity.com/wiki/people/who-was-eli-in-the-bible.html
Eli was a priest when #prophetSamuel walked the earth. Eli had 2 sons #Hophni #Phinehas who committed many wicked acts at the temple as underpriests. As high priest & their father, Eli NEVER corrected them beyond permissively. ALWAYS be zealous & #REPENT of our evil ways!
