Jehovah conveys to his angels, Mans governments and crowns will fail them

CHAPTER 12

One of Jehovahs intentions was to convey to mankind especially to his own people and his angel spirits, that no matter what form or structure mans rule was to take, whether with or without the backing of the heavenly kingdom, man would always rule man to his detriment.
Man could always look back on small periods of time, through rose tinted glasses and proclaim them his golden times.
But there is always another hidden unpalatable side to the coin.
One group or many is always sidelined or alienated causing resentment or distrust and the feeling of disappointment.
Men therefore change allegiences on a whim, greed, sadness, and especially jealousy.
The same occured under Jehovahs theocratic rule during and after the judges period, after they had occupied most of Canaan, now renamed Israel.
Jehovah with the help of his angelic servants, raised up human guides or judges, who tried to reset Israel onto the straight and narrow, especially for short periods after a time of backsliding into false imoral worship, which had caused the inevitable rescinding of Jehovahs blessing on them but not his watchfulness.

In Israel there was a great deal of Baal worship and it even permeated into the first kings family.
The first king of Israel was Saul, the leader of the tribe of Benjamin, whose sons were Jonathan and Esh Baal, plus two others.
Even the son of Jonathan was named Meri-Baal, and king Sauls great uncle was Kish-Baal.

Still Saul was chosen as he was a good and honest man, well thought of by the heads of the other tribes of Isreal, and it was these same leaders which were tired of what they identified as the inconsistent theocratic rule of God through his judges.
They demanded similar rulers to their neighbouring countries, Kings and dynasties, more permanent than the judges raised up in times of calamity, and thus they got it, for better or worse in Saul.
A king who turned out to be impetuous and stubborn suffering great fits of jealousy and depression.
He neglected and disrespected the spiritual side of his rule and brought his country into great hardship and disaster thus providing yet another case to be put forward against mans ability to rule himself.
His reign was such that it was as though there had been no king at all as the spiritual neglect he showed, had brought the fruit of abandonment of Gods blessing, similar to that prevailing at the interludes between the judges.
