Tessa wrote this for English and History. She finished it today. She will need to proof it later.

Saul

Here is story of Israel's famous king named Saul. There are three main facts about this famous king. Saul is the first king of Israel, he is tall and handsome, and he starts off a godly man but then becomes evil.

The Israelites wanted a king so they could by better in battle and they wanted him now. So God told Samuel, the prophet of the day, to go find the man whom He had chosen, named Saul, anoint him and crown him king.  To be a king you didn't have to be rich, wealthy, or smart, though that may help, but you have to look like a king which means you have to be tall,handsome, and strong. Saul was all of these. Saul started off as a very godly man but then, of course, he got proud of his riches and his power. All of these got in the way of his walk with God, he became evil, and that led to his own destruction.

In conclusion King Saul is rather famous.  King song is famous because he is Israel's first king, he's tall and handsome, and he starts off as a godly man but then becomes evil.
