We finish the book of 1 Samuel today. "But David found strength in the Lord his God" (30:6) is a great summary verse for his life to-date.
But the book ends with the reader invited to mourn the death of Saul and his sons. What a tragedy! It is a testament to the potential wickedness that is bound up in the hearts of us all. We must not give in as Saul did!
And it is a tribute to Saul's son, Jonathan, whose loyalty knew no bounds. He died at the side of his father whom he knew to be a wicked man. But it was his father-and he was there at his side.
Mourn with the author at this dark tale.
