With Saul dead, a power vacuum opens up in Israel.

David believes that God has chosen him to be the nation's next king, but Saul still has sons and grandsons who survived the battle at Gilboa.

One in particular believes that he is his father's heir apparent and assumes the crown for himself.

His fall is an object lesson in how treating the true power brokers in the accession with disdain is a fast track to destruction.
