I'm going over the life of David and while reading I Samuel 19:18-24, I came to where David and Samuel were staying at Naioth in Ramah to avoid King Saul killing David. We're told that Saul sent messengers to get information so Saul could kill him. The messengers began to join in with Samuel and David and a company of prophets to prophesy; Saul sent messengers twice more and they all began to prophesy as well. Then King Saul himself went and he too prophesied (after removing his clothing).

My question or comment is this, does anyone have any input as to why Saul, who already had tried numerous times to kill David with the javelin and sending him into dangerous battle situations against the Philistines, would come before Samuel and prophesy?
He already had been told by God through Samuel that his kingdom would be taken from him due to disobedience concerning how he failed to utterly destroy all the Amalekites, saving Agag the king and choice livestock. I'm sure Bro. Freeman had teachings on this, I just don't remember it or if there was a principle or purpose being laid out for us to learn from the recording of these events...beyond the obivious that God can raise up anyone or anything to prophesy if He so desires.


“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
