1 Samuel 19 · Grade 3

Escape Through the Window

Name Date

Read the Story

Saul told Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted in David. He warned David to hide, then spoke good of him to his father. Jonathan said David had not sinned against Saul and had risked his life to defeat the Philistine. Saul listened and swore David would not be put to death.

When war came again, David fought and won. But an evil spirit came on Saul, and he threw his spear at David, who slipped away. Saul sent messengers to watch David's house. Michal told David he must escape that night. She let him down through the window.

Michal put the teraphim in the bed with goats' hair at its head and said David was sick. David fled to Samuel at Ramah, and they stayed at Naioth. Saul sent messengers three times, and each time they prophesied. Then Saul went himself, and the Spirit of God came on him too.

God Guards His Anointed

Name Date

Read and Think

Saul now openly ordered his son and servants to kill David. Jonathan bravely stood up for his friend. He reminded his father that David had risked his life to strike Goliath and that the Lord had worked a great victory. Saul listened and swore by the Lord that David would not die.

But Saul's promise did not last. After another victory by David, Saul tried again to pin him to the wall with his spear. David escaped, and Saul sent men to his house. Michal, Saul's own daughter, helped David flee through a window and fooled the messengers with an image in the bed.

David fled to Samuel. Saul sent three groups of messengers to capture him, but each time the Spirit of God came on them, and they prophesied. When Saul went himself, the Spirit came on him as well, and he lay down all day and night. God protected David in surprising ways.

1 Samuel 19 · Grade 5

Is Saul Also Among the Prophets?

Name Date

Read and Think

Saul's hostility, once hidden, now became open. He commanded Jonathan and his servants to kill David. Jonathan, who greatly delighted in David, spoke good of him and reasoned with Saul: David had put his life in his hand to strike the Philistine, and Yahweh had worked a great victory for all Israel. Why sin against innocent blood? Saul swore, As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.

The oath was soon broken. When David again defeated the Philistines, an evil spirit from Yahweh came on Saul, and he tried to pin David to the wall with his spear. David fled. Saul's own children now protected David from their father. Michal let David down through the window, placed the teraphim in his bed, and told the messengers he was sick, buying him time.

David found refuge with Samuel at Naioth in Ramah. Three times Saul sent messengers, and three times God's Spirit overcame them so that they prophesied. Finally Saul came himself, and the Spirit came on him; he stripped off his clothes and lay down all that day and night before Samuel. The proverb was repeated, Is Saul also among the prophets? The scene shows God overruling a king's will to protect His chosen one.
