David Escapes


Hi girls and boys
Today you will see how Saul keeps trying to get rid of David.
WHY?
Saul has become so jealous of David’s success
and afraid of David
because he can see that the
Lord is with DAVID


Lets start by meeting the people in our true Bible story today

Saul wants David dead
He has tried several times to pin him to a wall with his spear!
NOW
He sees that his younger daughter MICHAL is in love with David
AND HE USES THIS TO TRY GET RID OF DAVID

SAUL MAKES A PLAN
He tells David if he wants to marry Michal he needs to kill 100 Philistines
(SECRETLY, Saul is hoping that David dies in this battle)
BUT
NOPE David kills 200
and MARRIES MICHAL


SO SAUL HAS ANOTHER PLAN
HE WILL ATTACK DAVID AT HOME

But Michal warns David of this attack
and she helps him escape through their window at night

When Sauls agents come in the morning Michal tricks them!
She says David is sick in bed
THEY TELL SAUL
SAUL DEMANDS THAT THEY BRING DAVID IN HIS BED TO HIM SO THAT HE CAN KILL HIM

BUT
when they go back to Davids house they find a
statue with goats hair in his bed!


So even though the Lord is with David
his life isn’t free of difficulties
David still has trouble and problems
But the Lord is with him and he escapes!
