Today I read 1 Samuel 31 where Saul and his sons are killed. Despite what we read in the scriptures about Saul, I am sure that he was still a good man at the end and it is always sad when someone dies a violent death, no matter how it occurs. Even David was sad when he heard, which we will read about in the next chapter.
It is rather sad that we don't know more of what Saul did that was good in his reign as king. We don't know anything beyond his obsession with killing David. I often wonder what else he did and made of his life. The man was king for quite a while, at least around 20 years, surely he did some good in that time, at least I would like to hope he did. Very few men or women in this life are 100% good or evil. They will all shift and do things that agree with their moral conscience. As I have said many times in the past, it will be very interesting when we die and know the full story. Until tomorrow.
