Saul in 1 Samuel 26:21, 24 was only thankful to David when he knew David who could have killed him, spared his life and he said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David.

His own son schemed for 40 years (15:7) to topple his own father - could you believe that? This is our Bible - it will not hide - all the successes and failures of God's people are truthfully reported. Why did King David suffer this? It started with his own sin of adultery with Bathsheba (11:3) Even though God had forgiven him when he sincerely repented by recognising that he sinned against the Lord (12:13), King David nee...
