Episode 410 Show Notes
From the Show
Saul had already set his face against David when he heard the women singing Saul has struck down his thousands but David his ten thousands. From that moment on, we’re told, Saul became David’s jealous enemy. So we’re not talking about Saul as a good guy who suddenly has an evil demon sent to him from God to turn him against David rather its a spirit—or as I’m inclined to take it, the Holy Spirit—sent from God in judgment to torment Saul.
—Michael Horton
