โ€˜Tell me what you have done,โ€™ said Saul. Jonathan told him, โ€˜I stuck the end of my staff in your honey. Now I must die!โ€™
โ€˜What? You screwed my girlfriend?โ€™
โ€˜No, your actual jar of honey.โ€™
โ€˜Jesus Christ!โ€™ yelled Saul. โ€˜What the hell is wrong with you?โ€™ - 1 Samuel 14:43

Jonathan said to his young arms-bearer, โ€˜Come, letโ€™s go over to the Philistine outpost. I hear theyโ€™re uncircumcised!โ€™

So, all Israel heard the news: โ€˜Saul has attacked the Philistine outpost, and now Israel has become obnoxious to the Philistines.โ€™

Samuel said to all Israel, โ€˜As for me, Iโ€™m old and grey. Whose donkey have I taken? Whose trousers am I wearing? Whatโ€™s that yellow stuff running down my leg?โ€™

The men of Jabesh said, โ€˜Make a treaty with us.โ€™
Nahash replied, โ€˜I will make a treaty with you only on the condition that I gouge out the right eye of every one of you.โ€™

Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by valiant men whom God had touched. โ€˜Donโ€™t worry,โ€™ he assured them. โ€˜Weโ€™ll get the best lawyers to represent you. That bastard wonโ€™t get off with going around molesting people!โ€™ - 1 Samuel 10:26

So, they enquired further of the Lord, โ€˜Has the man come here yet?โ€™

When all those who knew him saw Saul prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, โ€˜Is Saul also among the prophets?โ€™

โ€˜As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets with lyres, tambourines, pipes and harps,โ€™ warned Samuel. โ€˜Whatever you do, donโ€™t give them any money, otherwise theyโ€™ll follow you for miles playing their god-awful music!โ€™ โ€“ 1 Samuel 10:5

Samuel told Saul, โ€˜When you leave me today, youโ€™ll meet three men going up to worship God at Bethel. One will be carrying three goats, another three loaves, and another a flamethrower. You must defeat each of them before you take on the boss to win the game!โ€™ โ€“ 1 Samuel 10:2-3

Saul approached Samuel and asked, โ€˜Would you tell me where the seerโ€™s house is?โ€™
โ€˜I am the seer,โ€™ replied Samuel. โ€˜Go to the High Place, and Iโ€™ll teach you how to find your ass.โ€™
โ€˜I didnโ€™t come all this way to be propositioned, you filthy bastard!โ€™ spat Saul. โ€“ 1 Samuel 9:19-20

As many... erm... some?... a handful of you know, I usually make videos for Halloween and other festivals, and you might have noticed that I haven't this year. I am in the process of making a video, but it's longer and more complex than any of my previous videos, so it's taking a little longer.
