(Note: This “chunk” of the story line is longer than the others. The basic idea is although God set Israel apart as a chosen nation and gave them His laws and eventually a king, they still could not keep their responsibilities of the Covenant. Nevertheless, God kept His promise to judge and bless them because of and despite their sinful hearts.)
