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.

King Saul is told by the Prophet Samuel to do something terrible. Could such a message truly come from God, or did something interfere with the transmission?

Based on 1 Samuel 15.

The man who had been born blind may not have seen Jesus and his disciples walking towards him, but he heard them. He heard what the disciples asked and what the teacher replied. What was he thinking and feeling as they were all talking about him, but no one was talking to him?

Based on John 9.
