Who was the first king of Israel?

King Saul is a biblical character, according to the Old Testament (Tanahu), the first king of the people of Israel and the founder of the united Israel kingdom (circa 1029-1005 BC), the creator of the regular Jewish army, in the Old Testament narrative - the incarnation of a ruler put to the kingdom by The will of God, but displeased him. Perhaps it is a real historical person. The First Book of Samuel says that Saul's native city of the tribe of Benjamin was Gibe, which he made his capital. He was chosen and anointed with the prophet Samuel, later did not fulfill his command and came into conflict with him, and the prophet secretly anointed the kingdom of the young David. Later, David was with the king, married his daughter and dispersed Saul's melancholy with singing and playing the harp. Then Saul tried to kill him, and David disappeared. After being seriously wounded and losing the battle with the Philistines under Mount Gelwoe, Saul committed suicide. In later literature, it appears as the owner of a restless, restless soul, obsessed with melancholy and fits of anger, which can be appeased by beautiful music.
