1 Samuel 24+26 | You have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil

October 22, 2017

Summary

Saul goes off in search of David again, but this time the roles reverse: Saul becomes the hunted. Faced with the possibility of killing his ‘enemy’ David chooses to spare Saul…twice. He even has to hold his men back from doing the job themselves. In this, we see that David is so focused on faithfulness that any deviation, even a justifiable one, is not taken. He puts his trust in God to take care of Saul and raise him up in time.
