Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN!!!
1 Samuel 18:8 Saul begins to wonder. Remember, the women sang Saul killed thousands, but David tens of thousands. Saul's envy, jealously, and eventually hate crept into Saul's mind.
In verse 8 Saul is wondering what more David can get out of the kingdom. Now---worry sets in-- or as I like to call it---- satan's doubt darts.
Saul began keeping a close eye on David, but, then, verse 10, an evil spirit came upon Saul. David was playing the harp to soothe Saul when Saul took a spear, threw it, and tried to pin David to the wall. David avoided this calamity twice.
Now at this point the LORD was with David and had departed from Saul. So, Saul sent David away with troops, various campaigns of which he was successful and David became loved by all Israel and all over Judah. Verses 10-16. So, Saul, being afraid of David gave his older daughter in marriage to David and then sent him to battle the Philistines. Why would Saul do this?
Saul is thinking I do not have to take care of David, as in kill him, but the Philistines will do the work for him. David came to Saul saying he was not worthy to marry the older daughter, Merab, so she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah. Yes, who is Adriel of Meholah? He was a nobleman of ancient Israel and his name means "God's helper" or "Mans saver".
But another daughter was in love with David------Micah (verse 20). And more tomorrow. Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
