2 | What was Saul's problem? | 1 Samuel | Makarios | 5196 | ||
In 1 Samuel 18:6-9, all the women sang 'Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands' (vv. 6-7), making Saul very angry because he now viewed David as a threat to his kingdom (v. 9) and looked at David with suspicion from that day forward. It is a measure of Saul's insecurity and jealousy that he read their intentions incorrectly and took offense. His resentment may have been initially triggered by the mention of David's name alongside his own. To note how the Philistines interpreted this song, look at 1 Sam. 21:11. | ||||||
