| Popis: | The rejection of King Saul seems somewhat unjust. After exterminating the Amalekite enemies and capturing their King, Agag, Saul is demoted from being King of Israel. A study of the background to the battle, the battle itself, and the aftermath of it, in the textual unit 1 Sam 15:1—9, with particular reference to the literary-critical problem in 1 Sam 15:8—9, can provide the key to understanding why Saul was rejected. |
