CHAPTER 1
The Book of David Volume Two
Now time rolls on and David is chillin' with Jonathon, King Saul's son, and Jonathan calls David his brethren.
Jonathon loved David and they became very close, so close that he gave him everything but his post.
He honored David with his garments and weapons, and then they agreed to an oath no matter what happens.
In the meantime Saul kept David at the palace, and kept him busy and away from all malice. Saul raised up David and made him head over the army, and David behaved himself and did not act unruly. David was cool and accepted by all; he walked in confidence and his esteem tall.
Of course, everything is looking and sounding really good, but now things shift and not like it should.
The women of the nation came out to greet Saul, but instead they hailed up David as the conqueror over all.
They shouted Saul's name and how he'd slain thousands, then hailed up David and said he'd slain ten thousands.
Samuel summoned the boy named David to come to him at once. When he saw the young man, he had much to announce.
He anointed David's head and God's Spirit rested on him. Samuel wasn't surprised because that's what God told him.
When Saul heard that, his brain blew a gasket, he was so mad now David's not trusted.
The sayings caused Saul to walk with an evil spirit, now he has hate towards David and don't want to hear it.
The next day when David was playing his harp for the king, Saul took his javelin and threw it across everything.
He was aiming for David to pin him to the wall, but David escaped him twice without a brawl.
Saul feared David because he walked with God, for God had left him and he thought that odd.
To ease his brain he moved David out of his sight, he made him a captain over ten thousand men and was with people day and night.
Everyone loved David as he was a great leader to all; they all had good things to say except for Saul.
Saul had promised to give up his daughter's hand to the man who fought Goliath and remained to stand. Of course David's the man who defeated the giant, but to officially have her hand, he must also be valiant.
The conditions for marriage is to be valiant for Saul, to fight all the battles and be firm in the call.
In the back of Saul's mind he wants his hands to be innocent, and let the Philistines' hands be held in judgment.
Unfortunately Saul still has issues against David, and he wants his life to be that of a bandit.
David questions Saul, who am I to be son-in-law to the king, for my family are commoners and have very little bling.
Well, we shouldn't be surprised at what happens next, Saul didn't follow through and never sent a text.
His daughter Merab never became David's wife as planned, because Saul gave her up to another man.
Some guy named Adriel from the Me-ho-la-thite tribe, took her to marry and never had to bribe.
On the flip side, Saul's younger daughter Michal had big love for David and had to tell.
When Saul heard this, his mind was at ease, he thought if David takes her, he'll fall to his knees.
She'll be a distraction to him and he'll lose his swagger; when the Philistines are finished he'll look like a beggar.
