"Only God's to Give" - 1 Samuel 24:1-22

"Readers have long known that David is the man after Yahweh's own heart (13:14), and chapters 24-26 show that man after Yahweh's own heart did not seize the kingship Yahweh promised but waits for it to be given to him" (Dale Ralph Davis). In our text, we find that David would not grab for himself what was only God's to give.
