Verse 16 is found in chapter 18 of 1 Samuel. Saul attempts to kill David while he is playing the harp, confirming that jealousy has become violence. Nevertheless, David continues to succeed militarily and the Lord is with him. Saul eventually removes him from his immediate presence and appoints him commander. David’s rise does not come from a personal pursuit of power, but from his ability and divine blessing upon his actions. Saul’s hostility becomes paradoxical: the more he attempts to diminish David, the more his success increases.
