1-4: These are the verses that suggest that David and Jonathon got married.
9: Jealousy is never a good look on humanity.
10: I still have issues with the idea of an evil spirit from God. An evil spirit sure, but not one from God. Perhaps Saul was bipolar?
14: My Bible suggests that "successful" could be substituted with "wise" in this translation. I think it's interesting and relevant that David was wise because the Lord was with him. Not that he won all his battles necessarily, but that he went into each battle with wisdom. The Lord didn't win the battles for him, He just granted him wisdom to see what was best, and let David make his own decisions. Kind of like we were talking in last chapter, that God doesn't win our battles for us, just gives us the tools to succeed and lets us fight on our own.
18: This is where I get confused by the possible marriage earlier. If David and Jonathon were married, why would a second marriage be a problem? Is it the possibility of children?
28-29: Why is he more afraid now that he knows David has God on his side AND that his daughter loves David? What about his daughter loving David makes Saul anxious?
