The Madness of Kings

1 Samuel 19:1-24 | Andrew Murch | A hardened heart harkens hellward. Murder is set in Saul’s mind, and he is dedicated to sending David to Sheol on the tip of a spear. King Saul repeatedly commands his soldiers, even his own family, to deliver the son of Jesse to death’s door. In God’s mercy, Saul receives multiple opportunities to change. In God’s faithfulness, David is delivered again and again by the royal family as if shaking the reigns of power and steering the kingdom away from the cliffs of madness and chaos.
