Why Did Saul Turn Against David? 1 Samuel 18 | Owen Benjamin IS King David | NDS

Om avsnittet
Why did Saul turn against David? In 1 Samuel 18 the women sang "Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands," and Saul was very wroth.
A Nephilim Death Squad episode on the Straight Bible channel, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.
Matt reads David's story in 1 Samuel 16-22 as a pattern, half joking that Owen Benjamin is King David. Samuel anoints the shepherd boy because "man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7). David plays the harp for Saul, refuses Saul's armour (1 Samuel 17:38-40), and "the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David" (1 Samuel 18:1).
Then the turn: the women sing "Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands," and "Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him" (1 Samuel 18:7-8). Saul eyes David, casts the javelin (1 Samuel 18:11), offers his daughters as a snare, and hunts him to Naioth in Ramah (1 Samuel 19:18-24). David feigns madness before Achish (1 Samuel 21:10-15) and hides in the cave Adullam, where "every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him" (1 Samuel 22:1-2). In the typology, Saul stands for "the system."
It opens with spiritual warfare stories, Jess healed after a week of dizziness, and "Love not the world" (1 John 2:15), and it closes on what God is looking for: real people, not actors.
