b'In our last episode, Saul had just been anointed as king by Samuel the prophet and priest of Israel. In today\\u2019s episode, he is appointed as king in Gilgal to a fuller degree, complete with sacrifices and rejoicing. Samuel gives Saul instructions to wait for him there, but when the newly minted king feels like he is pressed for time he assumes that it will be best to make the burnt offering himself. King Saul, however, is not a part of the priesthood, and while he is king, it doesn\\u2019t mean that he can do whatever he wishes, especially if it means going against the Lord\\u2019s statutes. As we\\u2019ll find out today, Saul\\u2019s tendency to pay little attention to God\\u2019s instructions has huge ramifications on his life and his reign as king.'
