Did Saul look forward to the day when David would take over his reign as king of the Israelites?
The evolution of Saul's attitude toward David ... as so clearly interpreted in the book on the subject by Rabbi Dr. David Novak ... is the gripping picture of the descent of a tormented soul into his own internal paranoid hell. At one point Saul was simply wary of David, because he imagined that David would try to take the throne away from his son, Jonathan. And then, seemingly the next day, Saul was ready to kill his son, because of Jonathan's friendship with David. No, the thought of David taking over the reign as king of Israel drove Saul to insanity.
