Saul's Army

Saul’s Army was the military force commanded by King Saul of Israel, primarily forming during the early monarchy period around the 11th to 10th centuries BCE. It consisted of a mix of trained soldiers, foot soldiers, and volunteers, often organized for specific campaigns. The army played a central role in defending Israel from enemies such as the Philistines and in expanding its territory. Its composition and size fluctuated over time due to political, economic, and military factors, reflecting the evolving state of Israel during Saul’s reign.
