First Sentence

"SAUL (c. 1075 B.C.), the first King of Israel, was subject to fits of depression from his early youth, and there is little doubt that Samuel, who elected him King, had hallucinations which appeared chiefly as a craving for power, and possibly the reasons why he selected Saul were his good looks and handsome bearing, knowing that his lack of energy would still leave the power in his own hands."
