I enjoyed going more in depth on the Kings of Israel. I especially enjoyed it because in fourth grade I was in the children’s choir at my church and I played King Saul in our yearly play. My “portrayal”, if you can even call it that, was King Saul being very angry and aggressive, which was not reflected at least in what we read for class. I always get excited when I hear people reference King Saul because of this but I didn’t have the same emotional attachment to him when reading the David and Goliath story. We have a recorded version of my play and when I go home I would be interested to compare that satirical and childish version of King Saul, to what we read in the Bible. I predict many differences as we know there are many differences between what we are told about the Bible as children versus as adults, one example being the beheading of Goliath.
