Join us as we will learn about the final fall of Saul and the beginning of the rise of David to replace him as king over Israel.   We visit a most grievous \\u201cindulgence\\u201d of Saul\\u2019s, the consulting of a medium to contact the dead prophet, Samuel.  Previously, we saw that Saul also used Samuel as sort of a \\u201csoothsayer\\u201d while he was alive. This problem of Saul\\u2019s \\u2013 not consulting God, but other spirits \\u2013 became even more amplified as his position as king was heading toward its final hours.  

\\n

Saul\\u2019s reign as Israel\\u2019s first monarch ends and has been transferred to David as he becomes king over Judah and later, king over Israel.

\\n

We close the book of I Samuel and transition to the next book of the Bible, II Samuel, which chronicles David\\u2019s forty-two-year reign as king over Israel.
