Saul. David. Solomon.

So far in the story, God has been king over his people. He is a God who radically gives to an undeserving people his grace and kindness as he loves and leads them. And yet, his own people will call for a king, "like the rest of the nations." Although these kings represent the best humanity has to offer, each will fall short of being a righteous king over God's people. Where God gives, these kings take. Seeing these kings is meant to make us long for a better King, Jesus.
