David and Jonathan
Meditation Points:
- David and Jonathan, King Saul’s son, became close friends; and King Saul invited David to live with them (vs. 1-3).
- David behaved himself wisely (vs. 5, 14, 30); but Saul, knowing that God had already rejected him, was wary of the ever-popular David (vs. 12).
- On (at least) two occasions, Saul attempted to kill David (vs. 11, 19:10); and he ordered others to do so (19:1). He also sent David to battle the Philistines, hoping that David would be slain (vs. 18, 25). And for what reason did Saul hate David so (1 Samuel 19:4-5)?
- Jonathan interceded for David (19:4); but Saul’s hatred of David soon rose again.
- Even Michal, Saul’s daughter who was married to David, worked against the will of her evil father (vs 19:11).

1 Samuel 19:4-5
4And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
5For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
