In this episode of the Kings of Israel, we see the Divine presence departing from King Shaul and causing him great pain while his envy and anger at David’s rising star increases, to the point of murder. And we see within his own family the power of his deep friendship with Shaul’s son Yonatan and the love of Shaul’s daughter Michal for her husband David. The drama deepens.
