1 Samuel 9:1-2
¹Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. ²And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
Saul is a choice Young man, how beautiful it is to be chosen, but the question is, Who made the choice!
The people of the Land wanted a King so they could be as other nations which appeared nice but God was using the system of Judges to manage the affairs of men.
In demanding for a King, they were right considering Samuel’s sons Joel and Abiah/Abijah were perverted.
1Samuel 8:1-3
¹And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. ²Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba. ³And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.⁴Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, ⁵And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
In God’s timing, it was not yet time for a King but the people after they had enjoyed the reign of Samuel in honest plight desired to be governed well but the sons of Samuel had corrupted themselves though not removed by God.
Was it justified that the two judges be impeached, I would say yes but any view we have must agree with God’s plan in order not to reject God.
Deuteronomy 23:2
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD
No matter how many parents You have, God has defined a bastered by bloodline not that precious church wedding whose reception You enjoyed to the full.
Be sure for Ten generations, there were marriage ceremonies but in God’s sight, these were simply bastards not worthy of the throne.
Read: Genesis 38.
Pharez is a son of Judah whose tribe the sceptre is promised to and never to depart, so any other king is no King, however Judahs son Pharez is a bastard and shall not sit on the throne upto 10 generations.
Read:
Matthew 1:1-7, Luke 3:31-33,
Number the generations from Judah to David, its 10 generations by genealogy.
So how is Saul a King in the tenth generation yet He is not from Judah, He was never God’s Choice so in God’s sight He was never a King. Siding with a Man without revelation knowledge of God’s view is simply your demise as You are led astray.
In Matthew we see that even Solomons mother was another Man’s wife killed by David but God made Him King because God’s word was active for only 10 generations so the Sceptre did continue with Solomon.
In the end we see Jesus is the Son of David holding the Sceptre,
(in Genesis 49:10
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.)
Shiloh is a yearly feasts of the Lord but however it also is The name of The Messiah.
Read:
1 Samuel 1:1-3 -Yearly Ceremony
Genesis 49:10-12 -The Messiah
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Prophetic Utterance:
I am a vessel chosen of God,
I am a vessel in God’s Plan,
I did not choose God but He Chose me.
Like David, I’m not better than anyone but God chose me.
I am a vessel of Honour and the Sceptre shall never depart from me.
I belong to God alone.

¹⁰The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. ¹¹Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: ¹²His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
