Today’s reading: 1 Samuel 18:1-16
David’s life changes significantly after his slaying of Goliath. He is now in full-time service to Saul, and his success as a warrior is continuing. In fact, David’s military accomplishments are so impressive that the people embrace David and publically praise him above Saul. “And the women sang to one another as they celebrated, ‘Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands'” (vs. 7). As you might imagine, Saul is extremely unhappy about being in David’s shadow, and the next thing we see is a jealous king who wants to get rid of his competition.
