THE FIRST KING OF ISRAEL. 173

Saul, for his disobedience, lost the kingdom,—What
are we taught by this ?

What do we learn from the success which attended
Jonathan in his attack of the Philistines’ garrison ?

What do we learn from Saul’s conduct in the pursuit
that day ?

What are we taught by Jonathan’s conduct, when he
was unjustly condemned ?

What are we taught by the people’s conduct on the
same occasion ?

“ To obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than
the fat of rams,”—-What do these words teach us ?
