Name Date

Read the Story

Saul went to look for David again. He took three thousand men. One night David and a man named Abishai went into Saul's camp.

Everyone was asleep. Saul's spear was stuck in the ground by his head. Abishai wanted to hurt Saul. David said no. God had made Saul king.

David took Saul's spear and his jar of water. Then David went to a hill far away and called out. Saul knew David's voice. Saul said he had sinned. He blessed David.

Memory Verse
