Saul is hunting David just as he once hunted donkeys. But, as on that occasion, he finds Samuel instead. His soldiers go to kill David but end up prophesying. When he goes the same happens to him except in a most undignified way. It’s a sign of how all he once should have been is now ruined by his wicked sin. God grants to us gifts in life to be used for his glory, but sin steals them and leaves us a shadow of what we should have been. Jesus, however, offers forgiveness and the gift of a glorious life to all who come to him.
