I created this podcast – to attempt to retell some of my favourite Bible stories in a way that might help us to hear them as their first listeners would have done so. Such a retelling may not help us to know exactly what happened, but I hope it might help us to delve into those truths that they were trying to communicate.

There are two contradictory stories told of the death of King Saul in the Bible. So, who dunnit? And, maybe more importantly, why did they do it?
And was it murder most foul?
Based on the two stories of the death of Saul in 1 Samuel 31 and 2 Samuel 1, and the story of the raid on Ziklag by the Amalekites is in 1 Samuel30.
Also references the sad tale of Saul's "genocide" of the Amalekites as told in 1 Samuel 15.
