1 Samuel 19:4-7

1 Samuel 19:4-7 -

In the field Jonathan intercedes for David, assures his father of his friend's innocence, reminds him of his noble exploit, and of Saul's own joy at it, and beseeches him not to shed innocent blood. And Saul, fickle and selfish, yet not destitute of noble feelings, repents of his purpose, and with characteristic impetuosity takes an oath that David's life shall be spared. Whereupon a reconciliation takes place, and David resumes his attendance upon the king's person.

RENEWED ATTEMPT TO SLAY DAVID FRUSTRATED BY MICHAL ( 1 Samuel 19:8-17 ).
