Reading for March 29th

 Read 1 Samuel 24.8-22. In verse 11: My father's respectful address from the 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 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 will succeed him. In verses 21-22: David's oath not to wipe out Saul's descendants anticipates his treatment of Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth, in 2 Sam 9. Comments or Questions..
