February 20 2022 – 1 Samuel 19 – David Warned to Flee from Saul

King Saul publicly calls for David’s death. Jonathan warns him to flee, and Michal deceives her father to allow David to escape. But in pursuit, first Saul’s messengers and then Saul himself are stopped and overcome by the Holy Spirit, and they prophesy. David’s inner feelings about this incident are reflected in Psalm 59.
