David 11

 The author of King Saul’s story doesn’t give all the details, but enough to guess that the victory wasn’t Saul’s but God’s.  This battle moves the people to be united and accept Aaul as king. It also gave Saul the opportunity to fully devote himself to following God is everything he did. Saul later chose to take things into his own hands, making you wonder whether he totally got it. Perhaps he thought more of himself than he should have, but God was preparing the people for His story, providing an eternal king that was later to come. Perhaps this is a good lesson for us. Our life experiences are preparing us for something later that is far greater than we could ever imagine.
