217) God and Samuel / Samuel and God
- David and Jonathan, Saul’s son, develop a strong relationship!
- They make a covenant between each other!
- David stays at Saul’s service!
- Saul puts him in charge of his fighting men!
- David is more celebrated than Saul!
- So Saul becomes jealous of David!
- And he becomes to suspect David!
- On two occasions Saul tries to kill David with a spear but David escapes!
- And he is afraid of David because he is successful!
- He wants David to be killed by the Philistines!
- So Saul proposes to one of his daughters to marry him!
- But he must give Saul 100 foreskins of the Philistines!
- So David and his men kill 200 Philistines and bring their foreskins to Saul!
- Thus Saul gives his daughter Michal as a wife to David!
- Saul realizes that David is with David so he becomes more afraid of him and he becomes his enemy for the rest of his life!
- As we can see, Samuel was completely right, Saul is a human king and he acts according to his will!
- And he wants to get rid of David and he is ready to do anything!
- It has nothing to do with God’s will!
- And God won’t let him succeed!
