Listen from:
V.1 David’s victory was for all Israel, but it drew the heart of Jonathan (son of Saul) to David.
V.4 Jonathan not only said that he loved David, he showed it. Are we willing to show our love to the Lord Jesus by our obedience to His Word?
V.5-9 David is in trouble. Saul hears the songs of praise to David and he becomes very jealous.
V.10-11 The jealously is so bad that Saul tries to kill David.
V.12-30 Saul sees that he cannot kill David, so he tries to make trouble for him in other ways. But through it all, David behaves himself more and more wisely. It is beautiful to watch the conduct of David as he is hated by Saul and loved by Jonathan. Is it not true that our Lord Jesus is more bitterly hated and more warmly loved than any other? And each one of us is on either one side or the other.
