An afterward

they desired

a king:

 

an God

gave unto

 

them

 

Saul

 

he son

of

Cis,

 

a man

 

of

the tribe

of

Benjamin,

***

This verse establishes that Saul’s father was of the tribe of Benjamin, however, I cannot establish who or the genesis of Saul’s mother rather she be a daughter of Israel or not.

The following passage, 1Sa 20:30, could offer some insight into the lineage of Saul’s son.

**

Then Saul's

anger was kindled

against Jonathan,

 

an he

said

unto him,

 

Thou son

of

the

perverse rebellious woman,

do not

I know

that

thou hast

chosen the son

of

Jesse

to

thine own confusion,

 

an unto

the confusion

of

thy mother's

nakedness?

****

I point this out because of the murderous disobedient nature of this Saul, who even the Lord God Samuel was made to fear for his life.

Benjamin

The wolf also

leopard

lion

an a little child

And now,

O

Lord

 

my God,

 

thou hast

made

 

thy servant

king instead

of

David

my father:

 

an I am

a

little child:

Thou madest

saying,

Return

The sons

of Rachel;

 

Joseph,

an Benjamin:

And it

came to pass,

as

her soul

was in

 departing,

because

she

was the mother

of

all living.

(for she died)

 

that she

called his name

Benoni:

Isaac

unto him,

 

Come near

came near,

And he

said,

That thou wast naked?

said

unto Moses,

 

Take unto

 

thee

 

sweet spices,

these sweet spices

 

with

Then Job

arose,

fell down

an fell down,

an worshipped him:

an when

they

had opened

their treasures,

they presented

unto

him gifts;

gold,

an frankincense,

an myrrh.

**

 

An it

came to pass

as they

emptied

their sacks,

that,

behold,

 

every man's

bundle of money

was

in his sack:

 

an

when

both they

an their

father

saw

the

bundles

of

money,

they were afraid.

**

A bundle

of

myrrh

is my

wellbeloved

unto me;

 

he

shall lie all night

betwixt

my

breasts.

 

My

beloved

is

unto me

as a cluster

of

camphire

in the

vineyards of Engedi.

 

Behold,

thou art fair,

 

my

love;

**

 

But the dove

found

no rest

for

the

sole

of

her foot,

 

an she

returned unto him

into the ark, . . .

. . . then he

put

forth his hand,

 

an took her,

an pulled

her in

unto him into the ark.

***

 

behold,

thou art fair;

 

thou hast

doves' eyes.

An David

sent messengers,

an took her;

came

Yea,

Ye

An the

woman

We will

rejoice

in

thy

salvation,

an in

Now know I

 

that the

Lord saveth

his anointed;

will hear him

from

his holy heaven

with the saving strength

of

his right hand.

And the serpent

said

unto the woman,

 

Ye

shall not surely die:

for she

was purified

from

her

uncleanness:

 

an she

returned unto

her house.

 

And the woman

conceived,

Yet a man
