1 SAMUEL 19

SAUL’S MANY ATTEMPTS TO KILL DAVID

Saul tells his son Jonathan that he wants David killed. Because of their close friendship, Jonathan warns David to hide himself in secret. Jonathan defends David to Saul, attempting to convince him to spare David. Saul momentarily agrees, but quickly goes back on his promise. As David is playing music, Saul attempts to kill him with a spear.

Saul sent someone to kill David in the middle of the night, but Michal warns him and helps David escape out a window. Saul is relentlessly looking to kill David. After David sneaks away and escapes death once again, he seeks out Samuel to let him know what happened.
