Saul was thus anointed king over Israel to lead and defend them against external aggression. Shortly after his selection, the Ammonites laid siege on Jabeshgilead, a territory of the Israelites. As it were, this challenge and the accompanying victory confirmed Saul as the divine choice. God appoints leaders to solve problems, fight and win spiritual battles for His people and lead them on the path of righteousness. Jabeshgilead, a town on the east of Jordan, was located within the portion of the half tribe of Manasseh (Judges 21:8). This town, it could be recalled, was sacked by the Israelites’ punitive expedition for refusing to join in chastising the tribe of Benjamin at Gibeah for shielding some rapists from being penalised. After its sack, four hundred virgins were captured from there and given to the surviving Benjamites as wives so their tribe would not suffer extinction (Judges 21:8-25). Now, bereft of valiant men that could defend it, Jabeshgilead was thought to be an easy prey by Nahash, king of the Ammonites, who laid siege on it. An irony however played out at thistime of siege: the people of Jabeshgilead who did not see any reason to join forces with the other tribes previously, now rode to victory on the strength of a united force of the entire tribes of Israel. Living in isolation brings defeat. Believers should unite forces to win souls before the devil destroys them.
