Read 1 Samuel 24.8-11
In verse 11: My father is a respectful address from younger David to the older Saul; it may also imply David's right to inherit Saul's kingdom.
In verse 14: A dead dog? A single flea?
These two terms of self-disparagement may be read in two ways.
David could be saying he is insignificant or that Saul is mistaken if he thinks David is insignificant.
In verse 20: Even Saul recognizes that David will succeed him.
In verses 21-22: David's oath not to wipe out Saul's descendants anticipates his treatment of Jonathan's son, Mephiboseth, in 2 Sam 9.
