3 | Why Saul Does Not Know David's Father? | 1 Sam 17:55 | bowler | 206623 | ||
Azure Thanks for the post. Left with more questions though after reading it. In chapter 16 Saul's servants identify to Saul who David's father is in reccomending David to Saul as "the Son of Jesse the Behtlehimite". David may have been 12 when He first went to Saul as musician and armor bearer? Chapter 16 says David was a handsome man and already a warrior, not a young boy. Armor is heavy, David also became Saul's armor bearer it is unlikely that David was a child doing this. Saul was huge and later David even has trouble wearing Saul's heavy armor because its was "untested". There is nothing to tell us that David stopped being Saul's musician or armorer bearer, only that at some time, maybe back and forth we do not know, David went and tended his father's flocks and came back to kill the Philistine. I am wondering if perhaps Saul became upset as soon as David killed Goliath because he knew that David had already been annointed king even before David became Saul's musician and armor bearer this happened. And now Saul sees David do the impossible and the prize for killing the Philistine will be Saul's daughter as wife, make the man rich, and free his house in all Israel. Saul has to bless greatly his rival to the throne. Later on we find Saul unwilling to give David his daughter as he promised to do for killing the Philistine. It may be, I could be very wrong on this, that Saul pretends not to know who David is because he is starting to be afraid that his days as king are soon over, as evidenced in chapter 18 right after David kill Goliath, Saul starts in on trying to kill David because the Lord was with David, but not with Saul. Your post was helpful though, I enjoyed it and all the branches that went with it. blessings abound, bowler |
