The people of Israel cried out to the Lord,
They asked for a man to be the legislator.
People wanted someone to be a king.
God as a guide, they were not desiring.
A man in the command was what they were wanting.
About it, Samuel consulted to the Lord,
The cry of the people got attention from God.
To that whole people, God gave them advice:
“With a king, you will have a servant’s life.”
To the advice of God, nobody attended,
A king to the people, the Lord constituted.
From the tribe of Benjamin, Saul was the chosen,
By the prophet Samuel, He was anointed.
After some time, he began to reign,
In Israel’s fights, he did not delay gaining.
Before the people, Samuel delivered the king,
Saying: “The land of Israel, I will not stay judging.
Do you have something to complain about me?
Is it something I have to fix?”
The whole people replied there was nothing.
Israel was given in the hand of Saul, the king.
In all the battles that Saul has fought,
The enemies were given to them by God.
There was no way for the Philistines to win,
God was with the people when they were fighting.
The kingdom of Saul began to prosper,
He did not delay showing his haughtiness.
