1 Samuel 26:1-25

26:4-25 | This incident is similar to the one in 1 Samuel 24, but here David was in greater danger because Saul’s army surrounded him. Both incidents proved that David was not out to get Saul; he was as threatening as a flea.

26:18-19 | David did not believe himself guilty of wrongdoing but acknowledged the possibility that God was behind Saul’s attacks. He was ready to repent of any transgression, an attitude that again revealed his humanity.

26:21 | Even though Saul acknowledged his sin in hunting down David, David feared for his life. Saul was so consumed with keeping the throne that he lost touch with reality.
