and all those signs . The following history of Saul is given by the Afghans , a people generally supposed to be of Jewish origin . "In a war which raged between the children of Israel and the Amalekites , the latter being victorious , plundered the Jews , and obtained possession of the ark of the covenant. Considering this . as the God of the Jews , they threw it into the fire , which did not affect it. They afterwards attempted to cleave it with axes , but without success . every individual who treated it with indignity , was punished for his temerity. They then placed it in their temple; but all their idols bowed to it. At length they fastened it upon a cow , which they turned loose in the wilderness. When the prophet Samuel arose , the children of Israel said to him , We have been totally subdued by the Amalekites , and have no king. Raise to us a king , that we may be enabled to contend for the glory of God.' Samuel said , In case you are led out to battle , are you determined to fight?' They answered , What has befallen us , that we should not fight against infidels? That nation has banished us from our country and children.' At this time the angel Gabriel descended , and delivering a wand , said , It is the command of God , that the person whose stature shall correspond with this wand , shall be king of Israel.' Melec Talut was at that time a man of inferior condition , and performed the humble employment of feeding the goats and cows of others. One day , a cow under his charge was accidentally lost. Being disappointed in his searches , he was greatly distressed , and applied to Samuel saying , I have lost a cow , and I do not possess the means of satisfying the owner. Pray for me that I may be extricated from this difficulty.' Samuel perceiving that he was a man of lofty stature , asked his name. He answered , Talut. Samuel then said , Measure Talut with the wand which the angel Gabriel brought.' His stature was equal to it. Samuel then said , God has raised Talut to be your king.' The children of Israel answered , We are greater than our king. We are men of dignity , and he is of inferior condition. How shall he be our king?' Samuel informed them , they should know that God had constituted Talut king , by his restoring the ark of the covenant. He accordingly restored it , and they acknowledged him their sovereign."
