Q

Transition years from Saul to David

A

The transition from Saul to David was very messy due to Saul’s sin and corruption. The commander of Saul’s army, Abner wrongly makes Saul’s son, Ishbosheth king over Israel, while David is king over Judah. The nation then goes through a time of civil war and there are a lot of deaths. Eventually David is made king over Israel because he remained blameless and pure.
