In chapter 20 we see a beautiful story of selfless [[love]]. Jonathan is heir to the throne of [[Saul]] and, in a sense, a throne rival. Yet, far from being jealous or envious of [[David]], "[[Jonathan]] loved him as his own soul" (chapter 18:1).

+

Chapter 21 records [[David]]'s flight to Nob and Gath after leaving Jonathan. Here he encounters Ahimelech, the high priest. It was the Sabbath; [[David]] was hungry and unarmed and asked for food. The [[Bible]]'s fidelity in showing the unpleasant side of a person's character is illustrated here in [[David]]'s lapse in [[faith]] and deception, both to the priest and later to Achish.

+

It is amazing how a man of [[faith]] can gradually become a man of fear and unbelief. If we get in a hurry and trust in men and our own plans, before long everything falls to pieces and we find ourselves out of the place of [[God]]'s blessing and protection. In later lessons we will see that [[David]] did learn to wait on the [[Lord]] and seek His will.
