Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.
"And Saul spoke to Jonathan ... and all his servants that they should kill David"  (1 Samuel 19:1).  The despotic wickedness of Saul reaches a climax here.  All of his schemes to have David killed by the Philistines having failed, "He here proclaims him an outlaw, and charges all about him upon their allegiance to kill him."[2]
