Bible Question: What was Saul's problem in 1 Samuel 18:6-9, and what did it eventually lead to? |
Bible Answer: Saul knew that his days as king were numbered (1Sam 15:23,26,28) and figured that David would be the one to replace him. It-the idea of losing his throne, showed that Saul had become enslaved to the flesh and to worldly things. None of what happened between Saul and David would have occurred if Saul would have had let go of the throne when the time came; instead he tried to prevent or overthrow God's word. This act-preventing God's word from manifesting into truth, is what led to the ruin of him and his posterity. |
