# 154 - Saul: The King - In this episode of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein, Israel's first king is revealed—but not with triumph or celebration, rather with trembling and hesitation. In this pivotal episode, Saul is called out of hiding to wear the crown the people demanded, raising the haunting question: what happens when God gives us what we ask for, even when it's not what we need?

Episode 154 of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein is inspired by the Book of Joshua.
