Saul Resents David

In this skit Beulah learns how King Saul was jealous of David’s popularity with the people of Israel after David defeated “the big ole giant”, Goliath. Even his own family loved David. As Saul became more and more fearful that his kingdom would be taken away from him, he became determined to get rid of David.
