 His death is like a prelude to the last period of Saul’s history....In the midst of these dark times the grace of God maintained communication with the people through the prophetic word. In all the important acts of his life Saul had met the prophet who came so that he might know God’s thoughts, orders, counsels, and judgments. No doubt he had not listened to them, but he had been able to hear them. (1 Samuel 25 by H.L. Rossier)
 The priesthood, destroyed by him, had sought refuge with the true king. Gad the prophet accompanied David in the wilderness and in the caves. Israel and her king were left like a disabled ship without pilot and without compass. (1 Samuel 25 by H.L. Rossier)
