  1. A pastoral landscape<\/span><\/i>. \u201cThe Rocks of the Wild Goats.\u201d That\u2019s how the cliffs of Ein Gedi are called, where this part of our story takes place. And anyone who has ever hiked there today can understand why.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Cutting corners<\/span><\/i>. The symbolic wardrobe of the Book of Samuel includes not only the cloaks of prophets, and the robes of kingship, but also shreds. The swatch that Saul tore from Samuel\u2019s coat 8 chapters ago is joined now by the corner of Saul\u2019s robe that David stealthily removes.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. My lord, my father, the king, the anointed one of God<\/span><\/i>. It is with all these that David addresses Saul, communicating a message of conciliation, expressing a broad range of emotions.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. David\u2019s adages and similes<\/span><\/i>. David tries to convince Saul of the irrationality of pursuing him. He uses an ancient proverb (v. 14) and also a lively (or deadly) simile: \u201cWhom are you pursuing? A dead dog? A single flea?\u201d (v. 15).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Will David keep his vow?<\/span><\/i> Depends on which chapter you\u2019re reading. For those who want a spoiler or two: check out II Samuel chapter 9, and also chapter 21.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
