At least twice, Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God. While Saul reigned, the Lord God sent Samuel to Bethlehem to anoint David to reign as king. Sometime thereafter, David began serving as a musician and an armor-bearer for Saul. After David killed and beheaded Goliath the gigantic Philistine, David remained with Saul full-time. David and Jonathan, Saul's son, made a covenant. The Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, and Saul was angry. Saul wanted to kill David, and sent David on missions to get killed, and told others, including Jonathan, to kill David. Saul's daughter Michal married David and helped David escape from their home. Sometime thereafter, Saul gave Michal in marriage to Phalti (Palti/Paltiel). Meanwhile, David married Abigail and Ahinoam. Abigail was a widow. Her husband Nabal died days after Abigail told Nabal that she had provided David and David's men with an abundance of food.

Hoshea was the 19th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During the 9th year of Hoshea's reign, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, the royal city, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Jehoiakim was the 17th king to rule Judah.
