Verse 22 is found in chapter 24 of 1 Samuel. Saul acknowledges that David has acted more righteously than he has and admits that David will probably become king. The king even asks David not to destroy his descendants. David swears an oath and they separate. Saul’s acknowledgment is significant because it confirms from within the story the moral legitimacy of David’s decision. However, the reconciliation does not eliminate future persecution. The tension remains because Saul’s deeper problem has not been resolved.
