Saul was 30 years old when he became king, and he reigned 42 years over Israel.

“I regret that I made Saul king, for he has turned away from following Me and has not carried out My instructions.” So Samuel became angry and cried out to the Lord all night.

David also married Ahinoam of Jezreel, and the two of them became his wives.
