Best Friends
1 Samuel 16:14–23; 18–20
King Saul became grumpy.
His servants asked David to play his harp
for the king. The music cheered him up,
so the king invited David to live in
the palace.
David became friends with
King Saul’s son, Prince Jonathan,
and Jonathan’s sister, Michal.
David won many battles for the king.
The people said David was a better
fighter than the king. This made King
Saul very angry and jealous.Everyone likes David more than me
, he thought.
King Saul became so angry that
he threw a spear at David,
but David escaped.
Then one day, Prince Jonathan warned
David, “You must run far away.”
They promised to always be best friends.
