As we learn about jealousy from King Saul. What led to this jealousy was the fact that he did not wholeheartedly serve the Lord and had come under God's judgment for his disobedience at Gilgal. Seeking the Lord will lead to contentment and prevent jealousy if we do it wholeheartedly.
Saul’s Attempts on David’s Life
David’s Escape from Saul
1 Samuel 19: 8-17
1Sa 19:8 And there was war again. And David went out and fought with the Philistines and struck them with a great blow, so that they fled before him.
1Sa 19:9 Then a harmful spirit from the LORD came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing the lyre.
1Sa 19:10 And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.
1Sa 19:11 Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, “If you do not escape with your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
1Sa 19:12 So Michal let David down through the window, and he fled away and escaped.
1Sa 19:13 Michal took an image and laid it on the bed and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head and covered it with the clothes.
1Sa 19:14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
1Sa 19:15 Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
1Sa 19:16 And when the messengers came in, behold, the image was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
1Sa 19:17 Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” And Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go. Why should I kill you?’”
