Listen up, maggots! Chapter 18 of 1 Samuel is the story of the friendship between David and King Saul. Saul was so impressed with David's courage and skill in slaying Goliath that he offered his daughter Michal as a bride to David. Saul also made David one of his top military commanders. Saul eventually became jealous of David's success and tried to kill him, but David managed to escape each attempt. In the end, Saul had to give up and accept David's greatness. That's the long and the short of it!
