He asked me, "Who are you?" "An Amalekite," I answered. (2 Samuel 1:8)Remember the Amalekites? Review this story of Saul's downfall. This is not the last time we'll visit this narrative of Saul and Agag. It will come up again when we read Esther.
Yet one more tragic element of Saul's last battle with the Philistines is the often overlooked detail of who ended his life.
Saul was told to destroy the Amalekites. He disobeyed.
Bottom line? What he failed to destroy, in turn destroyed him.
Is there anything in your life God has told you to get rid of?
