Tail end of 1 Samuel

Saul was one crazy dude. When I think of him I think of the old king in the last of the Lord of the Ring series. The old guy who was going to burn his son who just so happened to still be alive....anyway, crazy stuff. I am struck that he so relentlessly pursued David from town to town for years. And several times David could have killed him but didn't, and he (Saul) knew this and still kept coming at him (David). When Saul finally died in the last chapter by his own hand because he didn't want the uncircumcised fellows to kill him and abuse him, the Philistines find him and do it anyway by cutting of his head and then fastened his headless body to a wall. Gross. This Old Testament has crazy drama in it.
