Old Testament

I don't think it's the Bible per se. I think you're thinking of the story of Saul.

The story of Saul is contained in the Old Testament. I think it's in the Book of Judges but I'm not positive and don't have a copy of the Book to hand. (If I were home, I would but I'm currently taking advantage of the free wif-fi at the local McDonald's. )

Saul was a king, not a judge. He had a mirror which he used to ask:



and the mirror would reply:



knowing that Saul was superstitious and was not gonna incur seven years of bad luck by breaking the mirror.

If you were more serious about reading the Bible, you'd know **** like that.

First mention of Saul is in 1 Samuel which is after Judges.

1 Samuel :1; Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel. 2 The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba. 3 But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice. 4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, 5 and said to him, "Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations." 6 But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." So Samuel prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord said to Samuel, "Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day--with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you also. 9 Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them."

So they got their king, and sure enough . . .
We have come to this . . .
