Bible Question (short): Why God favours David over Saul |
Question (full): 2 Samuel 7:15. Why does God not continue to love Saul despite his faults? I find it incredible that he withdraws his love from the one he chose to be king. I wonder why he promises not to stop loving David despite the adultery and murder he commits later, and yet he stopped loving Saul. This looks like favouritism. Why wasn’t God merciful towards Saul and why was he so favourable towards David? |
