Reading for April 6th

Read 1 Samuel 26.13-26
In verse 13: David went over to the other side so if Saul pursues him he can lead the army away from his unsuspecting men.
In verse 16: You deserve to die hints at Abner's assassination (2 Sam 3).
In verse 19: David curses any persons who have caused Saul to pursue him because this has driven him from the land of Israel, which is the Lord's heritage.
In verse 20: A partridge is literally "the caller" or "calling bird."
The comparison is apt since David is calling to Saul from the mountain.
In verse 25: Saul's blessing subtly indicates that David will be king.
