Saul's fear of David intensified due to David's continued success and popularity among the people of Israel. This fear was rooted in Saul's awareness that the Lord was with David, as seen in previous chapters where David's victories and favor with the people were evident. Saul's fear can be linked to his own insecurity and the realization that his kingdom was being threatened, as Samuel had already prophesied that the kingdom would be torn from him (1 Samuel 15:28). This fear is a reflection of Saul's spiritual decline and his inability to trust in God's plan, contrasting with David's faithfulness and reliance on God. Saul's fear also foreshadows the eventual transfer of kingship to David, aligning with God's sovereign plan. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy. Persons / Places / Events 1.
