True leadership is not defined by flashy displays of power or seeking the approval of others. In contrast to Saul, Jonathan exemplifies the qualities of a humble and faithful leader. He shows bravery, loyalty, and a deep connection with God. On the other hand, Saul's pride and obsession with image lead him astray. Saul's actions show a disregard for God's favor and a willingness to manipulate others for his own purposes. Samuel, a wise and discerning prophet, sees through Saul's delusion and warns him of the consequences of his pride. Samuel reminds Saul that his kingdom could have been established forever if he had remained humble and obedient to God's will. The story highlights the importance of staying connected to God's guidance and remaining humble in leadership. Jonathan contrasts with Saul, showing us the qualities of a true leader who places God and the well-being of others above personal ambition.
