Saul becoming the first king of Israel should be a joyous occasion, yet it is evident in 1 Samuel 10-12 that by making Saul king, Israel is rejecting Yahweh. Israel is in danger of forgetting her roots, a fear of the Lord. Without roots, Israel's end will be the same as cut flowers: while they may appear okay for a while, eventually, they wither & decay.
