Once again we have the account of how David spared the life of Saul.

We enter now on a portion of David's history sensibly different from

Alas! Saul is unchanged; instigated by the Ziphites, he seeks David
anew, but it is only to fall again, and more publicly, into David's
hands. Observe that David now appeals more directly to the Lord...
