What's Love Got to Do with It? David and His Lovers




Wednesday, February 15, we read 1 Samuel Chapters 18 and 19 in English

 
The theme for Chapters 18 and 19 is "What's Love Got to Do with It"  (thank you Tina Turner!)




     
    Michal helps David to escape from Saul


    In Chapter 16:21, we already learned that Saul loved David: "And David came to Saul, and stood before him, and he loved him greatly."
     
    In our next study session, we will read that Saul's children loved David. 
    18:1 "And it came to pass...that the soul [nefesh] of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul."
    18:20 "And Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David.

    Did David love anyone?  Does the text place more emphasis on Jonathan's love for David than Michal's, although both of them save David's life?  Join our reading and discussion next Wednesday.
