<p class="tab-1">In the course of the foregoing chapter we left David in triumph; now in this chapter we have, I. The improvement of his triumphs; he soon became, 1. Sauls constant attendant, <a class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.2" href="/passage/?search=1Sam.18.2">1 Sam. 18:2</a>. 2. Jonathans covenant friend, <a class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.1,1Sam.18.3,1Sam.18.4" href="/passage/?search=1Sam.18.1,1Sam.18.3,1Sam.18.4"><span class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.1">1 Sam. 18:1</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.3">3</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.4">4</span></a>. 3. The darling of his country, <a class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.5,1Sam.18.7,1Sam.18.16" href="/passage/?search=1Sam.18.5,1Sam.18.7,1Sam.18.16"><span class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.5">1 Sam. 18:5</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.7">7</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.16">16</span></a>. II. The allays of his triumphs. This is the vanity that accompanies even a right work, that “for it a man is envied,” <a class="bibleref" title="Eccl.4.4" href="/passage/?search=Eccl.4.4">Eccl. 4:4</a>. So David was by Saul. 1. He hated him, and sought to kill him himself, <a class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.8-1Sam.18.11" href="/passage/?search=1Sam.18.8-1Sam.18.11">1 Sam. 18:8-11</a>. 2. He feared him, and contrived how he might have some mischief done him, <a class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.12-1Sam.18.17" href="/passage/?search=1Sam.18.12-1Sam.18.17">1 Sam. 18:12-17</a>. He proposed to marry his daughter to him; but, [1.] cheated him of the eldest to provoke him (<a class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.19" href="/passage/?search=1Sam.18.19">1 Sam. 18:19</a>), and, [2.] Gave him the younger, upon conditions which would endanger his life, <a class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.20-1Sam.18.25" href="/passage/?search=1Sam.18.20-1Sam.18.25">1 Sam. 18:20-25</a>. But David performed his conditions bravely (<a class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.26,1Sam.18.27" href="/passage/?search=1Sam.18.26,1Sam.18.27"><span class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.26">1 Sam. 18:26</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.27">27</span></a>), and grew to be more and more esteemed, <a class="bibleref" title="1Sam.18.28-1Sam.18.30" href="/passage/?search=1Sam.18.28-1Sam.18.30">1 Sam. 18:28-30</a>.
