Chosen: A Story of the First Prince of Israel

Destiny calls. But it is not what he expects.



It is a time of upheaval. Surrounded on all sides by enemies, the people of Israel call for a king, even though God has promised to protect them without one. Saul, son of Kish, is chosen as Israel’s first king, and with him comes his son, Jonathan, as crown prince.



An honest, God-fearing, courageous man, Jonathan is the first prince of Israel. But he is not destined to be king. Instead, because of his father’s actions, Jonathan will die on the battlefield, surrounded by his family. And a “man after God’s own heart”â€"David, son of Jesseâ€"will take Saul’s place on the throne.



This is the story of a man of God and how his Creator used him for good, even as he is overshadowed by his best friend.
