SKU: A0.784819

ACT ONE: Song 6. "The King," by Dennis McCorkle, is a contemporary pop-rock musical of the first two kings of Israel, Saul ben Kish and David ben Jesse and explores the contrasting lives and outcome of each man’s choices in life. [1 Samuel 9:1-2 - "Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valour. 2 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, young and handsome, and there was not among the children of Israel a more handsome person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people."] The next day, SAMUEL returns to the town and assembles the people by their clans. The ELDERS, who have already decided who they want as king, go from clan-to-clan making a pretense in their selection. When their pick, SAUL, cannot be found they broaden their search and finally find him asleep in the cart that had arrived in with the caravan. Waking him, he stands up and is ‘a head taller’ than everyone else. They shout, "Look whom God has chosen as our king, there is no one else like him here." ["A Head Above the Rest" – Elders].
