Life of David=Fugitive Years Wk 3

Saul Turns Against David                   1 Samuel 18:6-19 
•         As they came-The Success of David & Saul Was Celebrated By All
•         Tabrets-Three-Stringed Lute
•         And the women answered one another-A Type of Hebrew Poetry Chanted Back and Forth
•         A Well Known Couplet to Israelites & Philistines  (1 Sam 21:11;29:5)
•         Very wroth-He Was Hot or Enraged
•         Thousands versus ten thousands-Saul Felt Guilt, Jealousy, and That He Was Shown Up by a Youth
•         Have more but the kingdom?-Samuels Prophecy (15:28)
•         Saul eyed David-Evil Eyed or Kept a Jealous Eye
•         It came to pass on the morrow-Probably a Sleepless Night
•         Evil spirit from God came upon Saul-God Removed the Hedge & Permitted As Before
•         Prophesied (Hithpahel)-False Prophecy; True Prophecy is Always Niphal
•         David played with his hand, as at other times-In Order to Soothe Saul, But Without the Desired Effect
•         Saul cast the javelin-Cast (pilpel) Means to Hurl or Make Linear Movement Through the Air With An Object by Force
•         David avoided out of his presence-Turn; A Non-Linear Pivot Motion
•         Saul was afraid of David-Saul Lost Divine Power & Protection & He Knew The LORD Gave Both to David
•         Saul removed him from him-Saul Saw That He Could Not Destroy David Personally, So He Tries A Different Tactic
•         Made him his captain-Command Over One Thousand
•         What Advantages Appealed to Saul in This Promotion?
•         An Excuse to Remove David Without Increasing the Rumors of His Bizarre Actions
•         The Hope That David Would Be Killed in Battle
•         The Hope That a Sudden Promotion Would Lead David to Make Mistakes
•         He went out and came in before the people-Public Military Expeditions
•         David behaved himself wisely in all his ways-Prospered Because of Divine Assistance
•         This Tactic of Saul Had Two Effects:
•         It Added to Saul’s Fears
•         The People Loved David
•         Saul, Under Pretense of a Marriage with His Daughter, Again Plots David’s Death
•         Elder daughter Merab-Means Growth or Increase
•         Her will I give to wife-Saul Brings Up the Promise
•         Only-Saul Subtly Adds A New Requirement
•         Merab Would Become David’s Wife for Ongoing Military Service & Zeal for the Lord
•         Valiant for me-Encouragement to Take Risks
•         For Saul said-To Himself
•         What is my life…my father’s family?-Unqualified Genealogy (Ruth 4:13-17)
