Israel
David was saved by the jealousy and
fears of the Philistines from making
an attack upon Saul at the battle of
Gilboa, that decided the destinies of
Israel
Jonathan fell upon the battlefield. the
unity of Israel seemed to have an
end. while our lesson shows how David.
by his tact and personality, under the
providence of God. welded the nation
again into a united life, when. for the
third time. he was anointed king.
In the intervening chapters between
both the two portions of today's study.
as we'll as in the section passed over
by the lesson committee between the
lesson of last week and today's. we find
many incidents of dramatic interest.
These events tell US how. by the ordi-

and friendships-au wonderfully over
ruled by divine providence-David came
to the throne both of Judah and Israel
because he sought in those days to be
guided by the Will of God.
SauIs failure and his death were due
TO his disobedience of God
In this crucial hour of our nations
history let us not forget that the end
of Saul and the defeat of Israel fore
shadow as all history teaches, the
fate of any nation whose rulers and
people neglect to seek first the kingdom
