Saul Turns Against David: Little Lamb Rhymes

David's victory over Goliath has made him a hero, but life in the king's court is becoming dangerous. Jonathan, the king's own son, becomes David's dearest friend and gives him gifts of honor and love. Their friendship shines brightly as David serves with courage and wins the hearts of the people. Saul sees David's success and grows jealous, angry, and afraid. Music once brought comfort to the palace, but now spears fly, secrets spread, and David must run for his life. Michal helps him escape through a window, while Jonathan tries again and again to bring peace between his father and his friend. At last, Jonathan must discover the truth about Saul's heart. With a hidden meeting, a feast at the palace, and a secret signal of arrows in the field, David learns that he can no longer stay. This moving retelling brings young readers into a story of courage, danger, loyalty, and one of the most tender friendships in the Bible.
