1Sa 19:1, Now Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, THAT THEY SHOULD KILL DAVID; but Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted greatly in David.
David was a true loyal servant of Saul, but he knew David would be the next king! He wanted him dead! Jonathan was a true friend!
1Sa 19:4, Thus Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Let not the king SIN AGAINST HIS SERVANT, against David, because HE HAS NOT SINNED AGAINST YOU, and because HIS WORKS HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD TOWARD YOU.
Pro 17:13, Whoever rewards evil for good, EVIL WILL NOT DEPART FROM HIS HOUSE.
1Sa 19:5, FOR HE TOOK HIS LIFE IN HIS HANDS AND KILLED THE PHILISTINE, and the LORD brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. YOU SAW IT AND REJOICED. WHY THEN WILL YOU SIN AGAINST INNOCENT BLOOD, TO KILL DAVID WITHOUT A CAUSE?”
SAUL WAS ENVIOUS OF DAVID’S VICTORIES AGAINST THE PHILISTINES AND JEALOUS OF HIS FAME IN ISRAEL! ALL THIS WAS IN HIS HEART! HE HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT YET HE PERSISTED IN WANTING TO KILL OFF DAVID! SAUL DEPARTED FROM THE LORD! THE HEART IS DECEITFULL ABOVE ALL THINGS! Jer 17:9!
Heb 3:12, BEWARE, BRETHREN, LEST THERE BE IN ANY OF YOU AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF IN DEPARTING FROM THE LIVING GOD;
