(1 Samuel 20:12-42) Afraid for his life, David, joined by his friend Jonathan, hatched a plan to determine if Saul intended to harm him. Their scheme, although successful, confirmed the worst: the king wanted David dead. Alistair Begg focuses our attention on the complexities of Jonathan’s decision to help David, which demonstrated his loyalty to God’s anointed king over his own father. Each of us must likewise determine where our own allegiance lies: either with the world or with Christ.
