MARCH 26 In chapters 18--21 we see the transition between [[David]]'s service in Saul's court and his exile as a fugitive. [[David]]'s greatest test of [[faith]] was not when he faced Goliath, but when he had to serve daily in Saul's court. These chapters explain how he was moved from being Saul's favorite to Saul's foe. The main issue is [[David]]'s [[faith]] and we can see how this man of [[God]] all but lost his confidence in [[God]] because of the trials that came to his life.

+

The [[love]] between [[David]] and Jonathan was beautifully silhouetted against the dark background of Saul's demonic jealousy and his base treachery toward [[David]] with regard to his daughters, Merah and Michal. However, Michal did become [[David]]'s wife, in spite of the trap set for [[David]] in arranging the marriage. It is unfortunate that [[David]] married Michal, for the union was never a happy one. [[David]] lost her to another man while he was in exile, but gained her back when he started to reign at Hebron. However, he attitude toward [[David]] led to a complete separation later on.

+

Saul's plan to murder [[David]] is no longer a secret, for now the servants are commanded to slay him. [[Saul]] even tried to get Jonathan to kill him. Then the deranged king, in spite of his oath to Jonathan, was overwhelmed by his mania and tried to pin [[David]] to the wall with his javelin. Michal saved [[David]]'s life and he fled to [[Samuel]]. This was perhaps the wisest move [[David]] made, for [[Samuel]] would be able to [[pray]] for him and counsel him. Note that [[Samuel]] defeated Saul, not with lies or weapons but with the [[Spirit]] of [[God]]! By using spiritual weapons [[Samuel]] delayed [[Saul]] and gave [[David]] opportunity to get away.
