Saul’s Response to David Sparing His Life
24. August 2009 by Bernice Davis.
Hello:
Our text for today picks up with what Saul will say to David after he has found out that David had the opportunity to kill him but he did not.
Here is the story:
I Samuel 24:16 When David finished saying this, Saul asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” And he wept aloud. 17 ”You are more righteous than I,” he said. “You have treated me well, but I have treated you badly. 18 You have just now told me of the good you did to me; the Lord delivered me into your hands, but you did not kill me. 19 When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May the Lord reward you well for the way you treated me today. 20 I know that you will surely be king and that the

You will also see in the text that Saul confesses to David that he is aware that he is suppose to be the next king of Israel and asks David to make a covenant with him that he will not cut off his descendants or wipe out his name from his father’s family.
David agrees. He gives this oath to Saul despite how Saul has constantly tried to kill him.
Saul does return home but will this be the end of Saul’s hunt for David to destroy him so that the kingdom have stay in the hand of Saul. What Saul does not realize is that you cannot “kill” the plan of God. David was destined to be
We’ll continue our story on tomorrow, but is this act of kindness enough on David’s behalf or will Saul quickly forget this conversation and turn on David again.
We’ll see as we continue our journey to David’s rise to the monarchy.
God Bless you!!!!!!!!
Stay encouraged and don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.
