King Saul was very jelous of David because god was with him and also he was Jonathans , Sauls sons best friend.

What is the plot summary of King David?

King David was born sometime around 1050 B.C. and died in 970 B.C. Was anointed by Samuel to be the successor to King Saul (without Saul's knowledge) because Saul had turned away from God. He became known for killing Goliath and eventually became the leader of Saul's armies. Saul became violently jealous of David's popularity and tried to have him killed, which resulted in David fleeing and going into hiding until Saul's death. When Saul died David became King of Israel and re-united all twelve tribes, reigning for about 40 years. He was succeeded by his son Solomon. I recommend reading 1&2 Samuel to get the whole story. :)
