The First 3 Kings of Israel (2 of 5)
Series: Crown: An Investigation into the Royal Family of Israel

1 Samuel 11:1-3
When we are touring around Israel in recent trips, my friend and tour guide, Nir likes to say ''It's Good to be King'' when he explains certain periods of history and how the monarch availed himself of certain privileges. It's reference to Monty Python movies of old. Several decades ago, Tom Petty sang ''It's Good to be King.'' I think you'll find the 3rd verse amusing:
It's good to be king and have your own world?It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls?A sweet little queen who can't run away?It's good to be king, whatever it pays
Evidently not everyone agrees with this because the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are doing everything possible to rid themselves of their royal duties. Harry and Meghan don't like the attention that belongs to England's Royal Family so they are escaping to Canada. Or, perhaps they like even more attention so they are creating this ''dust-up'' of a news story. You can make up your mind on the matter but it does look like they have the Queen's support.
We are entering the period of Israel's united monarchy and we are turn our attention to three early monarchs: King Saul, King David, and King Solomon. This is the time when Israel is ruled by a king and all the nation is together as one. Prior to the monarchy, Israel is a twelve-tribe confederacy ruled by various judges. By the end of Solomon's reign, the nation is likely the strongest nation in that part of the globe, or at least that region.
There are four major characters to this time period in Israel's history: the prophet and judge Samuel, King Saul, King David, and King Solomon. I'll not devote a great deal of attention on Samuel this evening but you should know he's really important. Many years after Samuel dies, the Lord tells Jeremiah even if Moses or Samuel pled for the Israel during this time, God would not be moved t ...
