I Samuel 18:6-8 And
it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the
Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and
dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of
musick. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath
slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. Uh oh! The girls’ singing
caused David trouble with King Saul! David had been braver than Saul. He had
killed Goliath. And now the girls made up a song about David. Saul became
jealous of David and began to eye David. But David realized what was going on,
and David was careful. David watched what he said around Saul and was careful
in his activities. Saul gave David difficult assignments to do; but David did
them well. So David’s popularity grew with everyone - except King Saul! God’s
Holy Spirit departed from Saul and Saul became angrier and angrier. But God was
with David and blessed David and prospered everything that David did. Do you
want to be like Saul or like David? I want to be like David.
