So many good and wise truths to note, but I mention one, “Our actions being the determining factor of the worth and validity of our claims.” “If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.” 1 John 4:20 ESV 💜 “For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” Hebrews 10:30 ESV 💜
Another reason why he probably couldn’t stand to say his name is because David means “beloved.” He hated David! It’s kind of ironic because if he said his name he would have to call him “beloved”........ which would stir up even more anger in his heart and hate to hear the sound of his name even more so!!! Most people loved David so hearing people call him David/beloved probably ate at Saul every time somebody mentioned his name cause it would remind him of how everybody loved David (Saul slain his thousands and David his ten thousands) and it reminded himself of his hate for David.
In vs 41 when you said you got angry at Saul when you read this that it was his fault. I had the exact opposite thought. I see here David here had a choice 1) he could have just killed Saul, we know that he was capable and able or 2) he follows Gods plan. I think David had the discernment here to see it wasn’t Sauls fault ( yes by Sauls sin it invited the evil in) , that this was war was much bigger then Saul. This war is between God and Satan. I think that’s why David never blames Saul here.
Not much is said about Saul's wife. I hope her faith helped shape Jonathan, and Saul's insult was against a woman who also had chosen God's anointed one over her own son's future. I may have to study harder, but I've seen little else about her.
I was wondering the same, esp after we learn about the idol Michal had in the house. Jonathan is randomly mentioned as being Saul's son without being addressed early on like normal so I was assuming when Saul was originally introduced that he was a fairly young teen. There are quite a few missing details for Saul's personal life.
Continue comments from Samuel: 20 (part 1). Interesting the words Saul used against his own son. 'Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?' Ref: KJB Sam 1. 20:30. Why would Saul call his wife - Jonathan’s mother (perverse rebellious woman.) Does Saul see in Jonathan a kind loving son towards others and looks at this as his mother doing? Just a thought. David is going to be king and as Pastor Daniel stated that Jonathan was a true friend of David. I also believe that Jonathan role in life was to prepare David and encourage him. If Jonathan were not around maybe David would have taken a different direction. It's difficult for everyone here on earth. Our heavenly Father, helps us, keeping our path straight. However, we live in a fallen world and arrows are everywhere to try and shift our focus from God. God with care hand holding guides our step even when we fall and that is why we have a helper on earth like Jonathan. (Even if we don't know the person.) and the Comforter to help us to reach our goal as a Christian in Christ. Jonathan was such a person to hold David’s hand with encouragement for David to reach his goal toward Kingship. The pieces are coming together, God prepares us even when we are unaware. That is my small thought, thank you to Pastor Daniel and the church family. From Sandie, London UK.

Great teaching brother! Their friendship is an amazing model for us to carry into our friendships

Hebrew meaning of the name DAVID = Beloved.
Another reason Saul could not say "David".
