David’s continued success against the Philistines had confirmed that the Lord was with him. There was no way that he would have been able to win so many victories in his campaigns if the Lord did not guide his hand. This made Saul afraid because it meant that his plans against David were unlikely to succeed. With his daughter now serving as David’s wife, it seemed as if there was nothing he could do to stop David’s rise to power and replacing him as king. Indeed, all of Saul’s efforts to stop David had served only to propel him further into the limelight.1
28 Saül vit et comprit que l'Eternel était avec David; et Mical, sa fille, aimait David.
