The Old Testament story of Saul, the first king of Israel, is shot through with tragic irony. The corruption of power was thrust upon this innocent young man by a prophet who himself was bitterly opposed to kingship. ' And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee,' said Samuel, and thou ... shalt be turned into another man.' But Saul, after his early successes, was turned into another man in a tragic sense; ' for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.'
Abandoned by Samuel, Saul becomes gradually madder and unhappier, and his one consolation is in David-till jealousy makes him David's enemy. He swings to and fro between love and hate, between sanity and madness, and, as he swings, is propelled towards disaster by his own actions and by circumstance.
