THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of ths Lesson, I Sam. xix, 1-12.
Memory Verses, 4. s—Golden Text,
Prov. xxix, 25—Commentary Pre
pared by Rev. O. M. Stearns.
The work of the devil is not a pleas
out meditation, but it is necessary that
we should know our great adversary
so as to successfully resist him. The
topic of the lessou today Is Haul trying
to kill David, and ever since Caia
killed Abel the devil baa been very
busy killing people. He is spoken of
lu Heb. il. 14, as having the power of
death: but. although be has been per
mitted to follow his occupation so long,
the time will come wbeu be shall be
eent to the lake of Are forever and
there shall be no more death on this
earth iKev. xx, 10; xxl, 4; I Cor. xv,
26t. Meantime it Is the believer's priv
ilege to be delivered from fear of
death and from all bondage In connec
tion therewith (Matt, x, 28; Heb. 11,
35). All envy and Jealousy and strife
are also of the devil and should not be
tolerated in a believer (Jas. Hi, 14-16;
Eph. lv. 30, 3D.
Although chapter xlx or a part of It
Is our lesson chapter, we must look at
xvlli for the connection. The first four
verses of chapter xvlil are tbrilllngly
beautiful In their assurance and mani
festation of the love of Jonathan and
David, but we shall come to that topic
in our next lesson. After David's vic
tory over Goliath Saul set him over
the men of war, and he was accepted
in the sight of all tbe people, and the
women sang his praises, magnifying
him much more than Saul (xviil, 5-7).
This made Saul angry and jealous, and
twice he tried to kill David with a
Javelin, but each time David escaped
(xviiL 8-11). While God may allow His
saints to be sorely tried, persecuted
and even slain, no real evil can befall
them, for in the resurrection they shall
be as manifestly without injury as
were Daniel's friends when they came
out of the furnace or Daniel himself
when he came out of the lion's den.
Because the Lord was manifestly
with David and lie behaved himself
■wisely (or prospered, xvlii, 5, 14, mar
pini Saul became afraid of him, re
moved him from being head of the
army and made htm captain over a
thousand. But all Israel and Jndah
loved David (xviii, 12-16). The rest
of chapter xviil tells how Saul sought
to get rid of him by subtlety; but, fall
ing In that scheme, be became David's
continual enemy. Chapter xlx opens
with a command to Jonathan and to all
the servants that they should kill Da
vid, but Jonathan advised him to hide
a little while until he could talk with
his father. The result of this Inter
view was that Saul swore to Jonathan
that David should not be slain, so Jon
athan brought him back, and he was
In Saul's presence as in times past
cxlx. 1-7). So frj- so good, but a man
liable to give way to an evil spirit at
any moment cannot be trusted. How
Badly suggestive the opening words of
verse 8, "And there was war again!"
So it has been, and so it shall be until
the devil is removed from the earth
and the air, and the whole age in
which we are now living is described
by our Lord as a *ime of wars and ru
mors of wars, famines, pestilences and
earthquakes (Matt, xxlv, 6. 7), but the
time will come when the nations shall
learn war no more, for He who alone
Is able to do it will make wars to
ceas» unto the end of the earth.
In the war with the rhilistines Da
vid was victorious again and slew
them with a great slaughter, and the
Lord wrought another great salvation
for all Israel (verses 5, S>. But there
was war again iu Saul's heart and
home, for the evil spirit was yielded
to. euvy and anger had control, and
the javelin almost did its deadly work
with David (verses 9, 10). Again the
Lord was his shield and deliverer, and
the weapon did not prosper (Isa. liv,
17). As some one has said, the devil
Is very persistent," and so David had
not much peace. Now he seeks to
kill David in his own house, and his
wife, Michal. proves to be his human
deliverer, helping him to make his es
cape through a window and putting an
Image in his bed, for when she said to
the messengers that he was sick Saul
then sent to bring him on his bed.
Saul was so angry when he found how
his daughter had deceived him that he
spake of killing her (verses 11-17).
What fearful control of Saul the dev
il did obtain! And It is so still that if
the Spirit of God is resisted the ad
versary comee in with great power. If
people will not receive the truth God
allows them to receive a lie (II Thess.
li. 10-12). David, seeing himself so
persistently persecuted, fled to his
friend Samuel at his home in Kamah.
and they both went and dwelt In Nal
oth. Three times Saul sent to take
him there, but each time the Spirit of
God hindered and even took hold of
Saul himself as he went after him
(verses IS-24). We bnve a right to sing
fro-n the heart: "If God be for ns who
ean be against us?" "The Lord is my
light and my salvation. Whom shall I
fear? The Lord !s the strength of my
Mfe. Of whom shall I be afraid?"
(Bom. viil. 31: Ps. xxvii. 1.)
There is great comfort also In Isa.
liv. 17. "No weapon that is formed
against thee shall prosper, and every
tonsroe that shall rise against thee in
judgment tliuii shnlt condemn." See
also Isa. I. 7. 10. and 11. 12. 13, with
Heb. 11. 14. 15: I John HI S.
