“May the Lord take vengeance on David’s enemies.” (20:16) Saul’s schemes turned public as he recruited others to kill David. Jonathan’s attempts at reasoning with Saul provided a temporary reprieve (19:4-5), and Saul himself along with the men sent to kill David were overwhelmed by the Spirit (19:20-21). Yet nothing assuaged Saul’s suspicion and hatred. Amid these plots, David found a true friend and ally in Saul’s son Jonathan.
Even in Saul’s own household, David encountered good and faithful people. Jonathan swore an oath to David that “the Lord would be between them forever” (20:42). Even in our darkest hour, God provides support and friendship. God is with us through His people.
