The Kingdom o! Saul WAS the menace of a united . Ihlllstla that drove the ITraeli tee to unite. They could Is- not help bat realize that soon they would be utterly destroyed If they remained without a head. Therefore they called on a holy man named Samuel, Who dwelt at Ram-ah- , asking him to select a king for Israel. Samuel, guided by Jehovah, farmchose a stalwart, middle-ageer named Saul, and events soon proved how wise was the choice. An old enemy, the Ammonites, hnd just made a raid on Jabesh In Gtlend, demanding that Its Inhabitants not only pay ransom but also allow their right eyes to be gouged out The men of Jabesh. sent a desperate plea for help to their klhsmen across the Jordan, and Saul Immediately responded.. With a dire threat of vengeance If they refused, he summoned the braves of all the Hebrew tribes to follow him to the relief of Jabesh. His summon's was obeyed, and, with a horde at Its- heels, Saul swept dpwn and delivered Jabesh. . It waa a great victory for Saul, and well established his right to the kingship! With one accord the elders of Israel assembled In the hills .at an ancient sanctuary nnmed and there formally crowned Sabi their monarch. The .war with tfie Philistines then took a new turn. At Mlckmasb the tide was turned; and the Hebrews won their first great victory- over tldq' enemy. The Philistines were driven back to their coastal plain, and Saul wqs left free to attend to tbe other troublcrs. He' organized a standing or thy of which Ids ow.n tribe, Benjamin, was the backbone; and with this army be waged untiring war on every frontier. Never to his dying day did Suul succeed in rtddlng Israel of Its enemies; but succeed he. dd In at least holding those- enemies, at 'bay. Philistia, the Enemy d . , - - ' . ' 4 a Saul's kingdom was no more than a narrow strip of along the Klvnr Jordan. It had no 'fixed frontiers and. was never free from attack. As you can see by the map, thfr little realm was surrounded by tbd Philistine, tympanites,- Phoenicians,- Amorltes, Moabites, Edomites,' Ammonites, and Attialekltes. And, of ajl these races only the Phoenicians, who were seafaring traders djd not 'seek to overrun Saul's' territory. The most Impregnable stronghold In the land, the city later called Jerusalem, was still in' the hands of the Canaanitlsh tribe known as the Jebusltes. ' . But what was perhaps more menacing to Isynel' was not the hostility outside tlie nation, hut the xllssen ston within.Saul, though an excellent warrior, was a wretched statesman. He was Jealons, hot tempered, and at times quite tund anything but the sort of man fit ted to weld tbe Hebrew tribes Into 'a fast and solid union.' As a result he very soon ran into difficulties.. He broke with the prophet Samuel, and thus alienated an Important element In the popu latlon the 'prophets. In those days there were to be found throughout Israe) tunny bands of holy men who went up and down the country shouting excitedly about the glories of Jehovah. The Hebrew farmers and shepherds stood In great awe of these prophets, for they were supposed to possess all sort of magic powers. Nor wad Samuel the only Important person whom Saul antagonized. hill-countr- y - - - - various tribes of Israel were by chieftains who were called "Judges." These chieftains did not Inherit their office, but won t largely through military prowess. When a tribe had to go to war It made Its ablest warrior the leader, and usually retained hint as the civil ruler after the war was ended. Some of the Judges were anything ut true men of Jehovah,, and their Influence on the people was often not altogether righteous. Matters therefore went from bad to worse In Israel Each tribe fought for Itself, and there was no trace, of unity among them. Only the even greater lock of unity among the natives made It possible for the newcomers to retain their hold on the hills. But soon tbe Hebrews were brought face to face with more redoubtable enemies than the native Canaanltes. Just as the Hebrews themselves had Invaded Canaan a generation or two earlier, so now other desert tribes sought to Invade the land. Among them there came the Moabites, who swept up along the East Jordan lands and terror tzed over all Israel. Only after 18 years .were they driven back by Ehud, Judge of the tribe of ' Benjamin. The Ammonites, too, came raiding from the east, and the Amalekltes and the Mldlanltes. But these Incessant Invasions proved a blessing In disguise, for they gradually drove the Hebrew tribes to unite.. tells significant story. Judges Tbe Mldlanltes, who for centuries had roamed. in the desert far to the southenst of Canaan, had come up, and were spreading terror along all the frontiers of Israel. .For seven years they raided and plundered al most without hindrance. But finally there arose a Hebrew farmer named Gideon who, with 300 fighting' men picked not atone from his own tribe, Manasseh, but also, from Asher, Zeb uluq; and Naphtall, made a sudden attack on the Invaders and drove them back across tbe ravine of tbe Jordan. But the tribes from the desert were as. nothing compared with an other Invading host, the Thlllstlnes These Philistines were not originally a Semitic folk from Arabia, They came, It seems, from' Crete, or the northern coast of the Mediterranean, and they may have reached Canaan first as pirates. Already in the time of Joshua the Philistines on the coast had grown so numerous that they were beginning to spread np Into the very hills which the Hebrews were trying to conquer. It was Inevitable, therefore, that the two peoples should clash. At first the Philistines were easily the victors, for they were better armed than the Hebrews, and far better organized. The kings of their In rhlllstla five chief Gaza, Askelon. Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron were close allies. The Hebrews, who possessed only the most primitive weapons and were totally disorganized, had little chance against them. Under the leadership of a strong man like Samson, they were able to wage guerilla warfare against the Philistines; but when it came to a pitched battle, they were THE Gll-ga- l, Golf also hod Its moments Once this is for the gTcntor education bound la their skins."
