About this episode

The episode explores David's response to Saul's death and the concept of honoring God's anointed despite personal conflict.

For the majority of his relationship with David, Saul opposed him; even going as far as trying to kill him. Yet, when Saul was killed, David served him faithfully and avenged his death. Why? Because even in his wickedness, Saul was still the one God anointed to be king. David honored Saul because David feared the Lord. Come with me to 2 Sam. 1:1-15.
