In 1 Samuel 18:17–30, we see Saul’s jealousy drive him to schemes and traps, yet every plan only advances David closer to the throne. David’s humility and integrity stand in sharp contrast to Saul’s pride, pointing us to the greater Son of David—Jesus—who humbled Himself to the cross and is now exalted above every name. This message calls us to trust God’s hand, walk in integrity, and bow before King Jesus.
