1 SAMUEL 18
DAVID CONTINUES TO RISE IN SUCCESS + POWER
Saul’s son, Jonathan, and David have a very close relationship. Jonathan loves David as his own soul and gave him his robe, armor, and sword. David is appointed over all the Israelite warriors and is successful wherever he goes.
Saul becomes jealous of the attention that David receives for his military success. In his rage, Saul throws spears at David, attempting to kill him. Despite Saul’s efforts to diminish David, God is with David, and he remains successful.
Saul’s daughter, Michal, loves David and wants to marry him. Saul requires David to kill one hundred Philistines before marrying Michal, attempting to have David killed in battle. Instead, David is successful and marries Michal. Saul becomes increasingly angry at David and jealous of his high esteem.
