(53) The best friends

 

After David had killed Goliath,

he was brought to Saul.

 

After David had done talking with Saul,

he met Jonathan, Saul's son.

They became best friends imediately.

Jonathan made a special vow to be David's friend.

 

Whatever tasks Saul asked David to do,

David did it completely.

and Saul promoted David as a commander in his army.

 

As David wins more battles,

Israelites praised and celebrated his acheivements.

 

They sang,

"Saul has killed his 1,000

and David his 10,000!"

 

This made Saul very upset and angry.

He was afraid that they might make David their king.

 

So from that time on

Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
