Nabal betrays David, Abigail prevents his vengeance; God strikes Nabal

David could kill Saul, but he leaves it to the Lord to strike him too;

David joins the Philistines for a time;

Saul consults a necromancer for guidance;

Philistine kings don't trust David; he reacts to Amalek's raids

Saul & sons die in battle; Parable of the Tares
