Saul's reign marked a significant transition from the period of the judges to the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. One of the defining aspects of Saul's kingship was his military campaigns against the Philistines, a persistent enemy of Israel.<br><br><b>Background and Anointing</b><br><br>Saul, a Benjamite, was chosen by God to be king due to his impressive stature and appearance, as well as his humility at the time of his anointing (<a href="/1_samuel/9-2.htm">1 Samuel 9:2, 10</a>:1). Samuel anointed Saul privately, and later, Saul was publicly proclaimed king at Mizpah (<a href="/1_samuel/10-17.htm">1 Samuel 10:17-24</a>). The Spirit of God came powerfully upon Saul, equipping him for leadership and battle (<a href="/1_samuel/10-6.htm">1 Samuel 10:6</a>).<br><br><b>Initial Victory Over the Philistines</b><br><br>Saul's initial military success against the Philistines is recorded in <a href="/bsb/1_samuel/13.htm">1 Samuel 13 and 14</a>. The Philistines had established a garrison at Geba, and Saul's son Jonathan attacked and defeated it, provoking the Philistines to muster a large army against Israel (<a href="/1_samuel/13-3.htm">1 Samuel 13:3-5</a>). Saul, with his troops, faced the Philistines at Michmash. Despite being outnumbered and facing desertion from his men, Saul remained in Gilgal, waiting for Samuel to offer sacrifices and seek God's favor (<a href="/1_samuel/13-8.htm">1 Samuel 13:8</a>).<br><br>However, Saul's impatience led him to offer the burnt offering himself, an act that was reserved for the prophet Samuel. This disobedience resulted in Samuel's rebuke and the declaration that Saul's kingdom would not endure (<a href="/1_samuel/13-13.htm">1 Samuel 13:13-14</a>).<br><br><b>Jonathan's Bold Attack</b><br><br>The narrative continues with Jonathan's daring attack on the Philistine outpost. Accompanied only by his armor-bearer, Jonathan climbed a cliff and struck down about twenty Philistines, causing panic in the enemy camp (<a href="/1_samuel/14-6.htm">1 Samuel 14:6-15</a>). This act of faith and bravery led to a divinely induced confusion among the Philistines, resulting in a great victory for Israel as the Philistines turned their swords against each other (<a href="/1_samuel/14-20.htm">1 Samuel 14:20</a>).<br><br><b>Saul's Rash Oath</b><br><br>During the battle, Saul made a rash oath, cursing any man who ate food before evening, hoping to ensure complete victory over the Philistines (<a href="/1_samuel/14-24.htm">1 Samuel 14:24</a>). This oath weakened the Israelite soldiers, who were famished and unable to pursue the Philistines effectively. Jonathan, unaware of his father's command, ate some honey, which revitalized him. When informed of the oath, Jonathan criticized his father's decision, recognizing that it had hindered a greater victory (<a href="/1_samuel/14-29.htm">1 Samuel 14:29-30</a>).<br><br><b>Aftermath and Continued Conflict</b><br><br>Despite the victory, Saul's leadership was marred by his impulsive decisions and failure to fully obey God's commands. The Philistines remained a formidable threat throughout Saul's reign, and his inability to completely subdue them foreshadowed the rise of David, who would eventually defeat Goliath and secure Israel's dominance over the Philistines (1 Samuel 17).<br><br>Saul's complex relationship with the Philistines highlights both his initial successes and his ultimate failures as king. His reign serves as a cautionary tale of the importance of obedience to God and the consequences of acting outside of divine instruction.<a name="nav" id="nav"></a><div class="vheading2">Nave's Topical Index</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/1_samuel/13-1.htm">1 Samuel 13:1</a></span><br>Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,<br><span class="source">Nave's Topical Index</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/1_samuel/14-46.htm">1 Samuel 14:46,52</a></span><br>Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.<br><span class="source">Nave's Topical Index</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/maspero/history_of_egypt_chaldaea_syria_babylonia_and_assyria_v_6/chapter_iiithe_hebrews_and_the.htm"><span class="l">The Hebrews and the <b>Philistines</b> --Damascus</span></a> <br><b>...</b> disaster they had formerly inflicted on <b>Israel</b>, is supposed <b>...</b> period when the Jews,<br> without any <b>king</b> or settled <b>...</b> monarchy had not as yet been attributed to <b>Saul</b>. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../chapter iiithe hebrews and the.htm</font><p><a href="/library/hengstenberg/christology_of_the_old_testament/the_blessing_of_jacob_upon.htm"><span class="l">The Blessing of Jacob Upon Judah.
