This moment signifies the beginning of Saul's deep-seated envy and suspicion, which would persist throughout the rest of his life. The phrase "from that day forward" indicates a continuous and unrelenting attitude that Saul would maintain, highlighting the enduring nature of his jealousy. Saul kept a jealous eye on David.

Teaching Points The Destructive Nature of JealousyJealousy can consume and destroy relationships, as seen in Saul's relationship with David. It is crucial to guard our hearts against envy and seek contentment in God's plan for our lives. Focus on God's Plan Saul's focus shifted from God's will to his own insecurities. We must keep our eyes on God's purpose for us, trusting that His plans are for our good. The Importance of Humility David's humility and trust in God contrast with Saul's pride and fear. Emulating David's humility can help us navigate challenges and maintain our integrity. Guarding Our Hearts Proverbs 4:23 advises us to guard our hearts, as it is the wellspring of life. Saul's failure to do so led to his downfall. We must be vigilant in protecting our hearts from negative emotions. The Power of Forgiveness Despite Saul's actions, David chooses not to retaliate. Forgiveness and grace can break the cycle of jealousy and hatred, leading to peace and reconciliation.(9) And Saul eyed David.--From the hour on which the king listened to the people's lilt in honour of the young hero, in Saul's distempered mind hate alternated with love. He still in his heart longed for the presence of the only human being who could charm away his ever-increasing melancholia, but he dreaded with a fierce jealousy the growing influence of the winning and gifted man whom he had taken from the sheep-folds; and now through the rest of the records of this book we shall see how the hate gradually obscured the old love. All our memories of Saul seem bound up with his life-long murderous pursuit of David.
