A Fugitive Spares His Rival - a podcast by Faith Baptist Church

David was a great warrior, not to mention a talented musician, and king Saul loved him right away. Scripture says Saul ‘loved him greatly’. But that was before Saul heard the women singing David’s praise. That’s when everything changed. Saul’s ego rose up and his personal insecurities and jealousy took over. “What more can he have but the kingdom?”

From that day on, Saul tried repeatedly to kill David. And David, the anointed champion became a wanted fugitive, fleeing for his life, month after month, year after year all over the wilderness, hiding in caves and in enemy territory. Funny thing is, during all that time David had numerous opportunities to take Saul out and claim the promised throne for his own. But he never did. Wonder why.
