More Davis and Saul drama. I must admit here that I simply adore Saul, he's a great character. Just ridiculously loony and such a drama queen.
David has created a private little army in order to get some actual work done. He visits with some priest in the city of Nob (fo real), after MUCH discussion of bread he asks for a weapon. They give him Goliath's sword.
When Saul here's this he is none to pleased. He goes to the city of priests and kills everyone there. This totally reminded me of the scene in Revenge of the Sith, when Anakin is slipping over to the dark side. He goes to the Jedi temple and kills all the younglings. After that came to my mind, I sat for a while and thought about the parallels between Saul and Anakin Skywalker. Anakin was also a nobody, hand picked, who because of jealousy is lead to the madness of the dark side.
Did I digress?
Anyway Saul kills everyone and David feels as though maybe its his fault. This is getting crazy and needs to come to an end. WHY hasn't anyone killed this kookoo bird?
Very dramatic and once again sorta comical scene. David and his troops are hiding in a cave, when who should walk in to take a leak? Yep that's right, Saul.
David's guys are all like "GO KILL THE NUTTER, MAN!!!" Instead David tip-toes over and cuts off Saul skirt. (love that visual)
After Saul leaves (not realizing that his skirt is missing) David catches up with him. He shows him his skirt and says "I totally could have killed you! BUT I DIDN'T!! So CHILL THE HELL OUT!" or something to that effect.
Saul has a very dramatic scene in which is says that David is so good and kind and he is so sorry, it shan't happen a gain.
yea right.

Saul may have been annointed by the Lord to be king, but he is definitely not following God's path. He has some major issues. A wise man is slow to speak (and act) and quick to listen. Saul is just the opposite. If you notice there are very few references in here about Saul worshipping God or seeking God's counsel. He kind of thinks of God secondarily, usu. when he thinks something good has happened or will happen. How many of us are like that?
How loyal is Jonathan? Is he really Saul's son? I mean, he is heir to the throne, but he apparently listens to God much more and better than his dad, cause he is ready to give up his right to the throne and let David be king. That's just amazes me. Most people throughout history in every country have fought for right to the throne.
Most translations say (or make note) that it was a piece of Saul's skirt or cloak that David cut off. I don't think they meant his entire skirt. Really, he'd have to feel a breeze. And, I know it says skirt, but let's face it, it's really a kilt. Love the kilt. I'd wear one. As Kramer would say, unfettered and free....I'm out there, and I'm loving every minute of it....like a wild Indian boy running naked through the woods.
Yeah, right, is right. Who soothes Saul's evil spirit now that David is gone? Nobody, that who. So you know he's gonna keep going off the deep end.
Tomorrow, remember written by David...Ps. 7, 27, 31, 34, 52, 56, 120, 140-142
Hey Crystal, ask your homophobic, misogynistic friend about this:
1 Samuel 21:1
Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest.
Mark 2:25-26
Have ye never read what David did ... How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest?
How does he explain the inconsistency?
or this one...Was David alone when he went in or not?
1 Samuel 21:1
Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
Luke 6:3-4
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
Make-believe Jesus screws this story up similarly in Matthew and Mark as well. Can't fault Jesus for screwing up the story, he was only human (except for the part about being able to perform miracles and such, and living without Sin, which basically doesn't make him the Messiah described in the Old Testament,yawn)
Why would an all powerful God not have a copy editor?
Booyeow?
