5. David Spares the Lord's Anointed (1 Samuel 24-28)

David hides from Saul in the Wilderness, and providentially has two opportunities to kill Saul, but refuses since Saul is 'the Lord's anointed.' He also spares Nabal, takes Abigail as wife, seeks asylum from Saul with the Philistines, but is spared going into battle with Saul. Finally, Saul seeks a medium to seek guidance from Samuel, but receives condemnation instead.
