500 years before Israel would ask God for a king, God set the boundaries for what they must look for in a king:1. Where from - he must be one of them2. Weapons - he must not put his trust in his military might3. Wives - he must not have many wives nor marry foreign women lest they tempt him away from God4. Wealth - he must not put his trust / pride in his wealthAs we read through 1 and 2 Kings we see king after king fail in this. So why did God set these boundaries? It wasn't to make Israel fail, but to show their dependence upon Him alone, and point us to the one true King who will fulfill these conditions perfectly - Jesus!
