We read in the foregoing chapter how, after he was anointed, Providence made him famous in the court; we read in this chapter how Providence made him much more famous in the camp, and, by both, not only marked him for a great man, but fitted him for the throne for which he was designed. In the court he was only Sauls physician; but in the camp Israels champion; there he fairly fought, and beat Goliath of Gath. In the story observe, I.
