Explanation

A How David resisted taking Saul's life at the wilderness of Ziph (1 Samuel 26:1-25):

i Saul received a report from the Ziphites that David was hiding on the hill of Hachilah

ii So, Saul went in search of David at the Desert of Ziph with three thousand chosen men

iii Saul and his men made their camp beside the road on the hill of Hachilah facing Jeshimon whilst David stayed in the desert

iv. When David heard of the presence of Saul, he sent men to scout the whereabouts of Saul and this was confirmed.

v. With this information. David and Abishai went to the camp of Saul and saw him and Abner, the commander of the army lying down sleeping with the army encamped around them

vi. Abishai said to David that the Lord had delivered his enemy into head and that David should allow him to kill Saul.

vii. David rebuked Abishai because it is a sin to kill the lords anointed.

viii. David again said that Saul should be allowed to die in the hands of the Lord or in battle but not in his hand / the life of Saul was in God's hands.

ix., David then ordered Sau?'s spear that was stuck to the ground near his head and his water jar to be taken away

x. When David crossed to the other side, he called to Saul and his men saying they had failed to protect the King and that Abner, the Army Commander deserved to die

Xi. Saul then called out to David and he responded by asking why Saul was pursuing him and what his guilt was.

xii. David, however, said if it was the Lord's doing; then He should accept an offering but if it were men. they must be cursed before the Lord.

xiii. David wondered why the king of Israel should be hunting him like a partridge in the mountain.

xiv. Saul apologized to David and promised not to harm him because he had spared his life.

xV. David handed over Saul's spear and water jug to him and noted that the Lord rewards everyone for his/her righteousness and faithfulness.

xvi. David ended by saying that the Lord had delivered Saul into his hand but he would not lay hands on the Lord's anointed.

xvii. Because I valued your life, may the Lord value my life and deliver me from all troubles.

xviii, Saul blessed David and they both departed.
