David Sparing Saul (1904) by Simon Harmon Vedder

1 Samuel 24-27; Psalm 43, 57

●1 Samuel 24 David finds Saul in a cave and spares his life—Saul confesses that David is more righteous than he—David swears that he will not cut off the seed of Saul.    

●1 Samuel 25 Samuel dies—Nabal rebuffs David and refuses to give him food—Abigail intercedes, saves Nabal, and gives David a present—David is pacified, Nabal dies, and David marries Abigail.
