Theme of chapter: God is with Jonathon as he goes on his own to attack the Philistines. A great earthquake and commotion comes over the Philistines, in their confusion they are attacking themselves and fleeing. Saul grows more jealous of his son Jonathon and tries to kill him.
16And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.
Most prominent word: Jonathan (gift of Yahweh)
Teaching about Christ: The Lord protects his childrenCommand to obey: Do not be jealous or proud. Be humble.
New truth learned: Saul really shows his character here. Trying to kill his own son out of jealousy. He is a real piece of work.
