Saul, the son of Kish, and David, the son
were both chosen to rule Israel. Saul, on the other hand, persisted in opposing the Lord in order to save his own throne, while David would not raise his own hand in an effort to get what the Lord had promised.
David then confronted Saul after coming to him. And because of how much he loved him, he appointed him as his armor-bearer. And thus, whenever Saul was under the influence of the Holy Spirit, David would grab a harp and play it with his hand. Saul would then feel revived and healthy, and the upsetting spirit would leave him.
Women from every city in Israel came out to welcome King Saul as David was coming from the killing of the Philistine, singing and dancing. The women began to sing and dance while declaring:
Saul and David each had tens of thousands of casualties.
Saul became quite enraged at this point and was offended by the phrase. As a result, Saul began to keep a watch on David.
Saul threw the spear because he intended to nail David to the wall. But David twice managed to get away from him.
David acted more intelligently than any of Saul's servants, which helped to elevate his reputation.
Then Saul arrived at a cave, and he entered. And David got up and sneakily severed a robe corner from Saul.
By Saul's head, David seized the spear and the water jug, and they fled without anybody noticing, realizing, or waking up. Because the LORD had cast them all into a profound sleep, they were all sleeping.
Saul then stated, "I've done wrong. Please come back,
Saul then addressed David, "My son David, may God bless you! You will both do great things and keep winning."
Even though King Saul at first admired and appreciated David for his wisdom and leadership skills, Saul was ultimately driven by a spirit of resentment. He was happy to appoint David as one of his commanders and gain from his triumphs, but he grew furious when David
Saul's enmity and attempts to assassinate David grew as David's notoriety soared. When Saul's son Jonathan was seen defending David, Saul tried to murder him by throwing a spear at him (1 Samuel 20:32-43). Following that, David ran away in fear for his life, making his way across the Judean desert to Gath, the Philistine capital. Saul only stopped pursuing David until he was really in Gath; otherwise, Saul chased him assiduously everywhere he went in Israel. Saul was also engaged in other grave transgressions at the period, including the murder of Ahimelech the priest and consulting the witch of Endor in an effort to get in touch with the prophet Samuel.
Ruler Saul was repeatedly in David's line of fire, yet
David was aware that the Lord Himself had appointed him as king of Israel through his prophet Samuel and that he would rule during the Lord's time. However, David was prepared to wait for the Lord to intervene, in contrast to Saul, and he utterly refrained from acting on his own behalf. David was a man after the Lord's own heart, and he desired that the Lord carry out His purpose without any tainting interference from himself.
What can Saul and David teach us about religion, then? First, genuine faith always seeks the will and timing of the Lord. Second, genuine faith, unless specifically instructed otherwise by the Lord Himself, waits for the Lord to carry out his will without further assistance on the part of the believer. Third, false faith constantly seeks to impose its will over that of the Lord, which is an abomination in the Lord's eyes and a sort of witchcraft.
