Bullet Point Summary

Shmuel I Perek 19

  • Shaul tried to kill Dovid a 3rd time. Shaul made it look like an accident so it wouldn’t appear that it was from the king.

  • Yonatan had great love for Dovid and advocated for Dovid to Shaul.

  • Yonatan told Dovid the news that Shaul was at peace with Dovid.

  • Shaul swore not to hunt Dovid (we will see several times when Shaul promises not go after Dovid but than seems to renege.)

  • Dovid went to war and defeated the Plishtim for Shaul.

  • Shaul again tried to kill Dovid by thrusting a spear at Dovid after Dovid played music for Shaul.

  • Dovid escaped and ran away.

  • Michal urged Dovid to escape that night and lowered Dovid down through the window.

  • Michal made it look like Dovid was sleeping sick in bed by laying a mannequin in his bed.

  • Michal explained to Shaul she had to trick her own Father because Dovid had threatened her life.

  • Dovid ran to Shmuel.

  • 3 sets of soldiers came on Shaul’s behalf to kill Dovid. Each set attained prophecy not to kill Dovid as Dovid was already anointed as the king.

  • Shaul went to see what was happening and attained high levels of Prophecy the entire night.
