I think that I was writing about how Saul was after David in a very paranoic way. (chapter 35) We need to understand what David was going through, by referring to Shmuel Alef, (1st Samuel) Saul was projecting his own murderous insecurities on David, sort of like the present government training the soldiers (and possibly mercenaries) to injure Jews, and to be immune to their pain, while tearing them out of their homes, and ripping babies out of their mother's arms. And so the same people take for granted that we're (G-d forbid, and it's a figment to their imaginations) going to assasinate government officials. They think that we're like they are, but we're not. Remember Shmuel alef 26, 21, when David told Avishai, that even if would be so easy to kill Saul, when they enetred his tent, when he was sleeping, all he should do is take his sword. Someone can be 99% tzaddik, but the one percent that isn't can be so crucial and powerful that it can destroy him. Occassionally Saul did have a moment or two of sanity. In T'hilim 23, David writes that he's about to be caught. 35, 5 can't avoid the punishment, frequently related, as a result of, the 'crime" sin. G-d will sometimes "harden the heart" of the evil, so that they can't repent, since they have already gone too far that repenting must become more difficult. G-d wants them to start getting their punishment in this world. They shouldn't be able to avoid punishment. 6 Shaul crossed the red line. The road to repentence becomes 'dark and slippery." 7 David explains/complains that "without cause" he was persecuted. All he tried to do was to help the people. The darkness appears when G-d is ignored. Some people think they can sneek around and avoid it. Just because they do, they think "everyone has their price." 8 suddenly the bad person will be caught in the trap he planned for others. Considering the entire political situation the paralels are spooky. I wrote it up in Shiloh Musings . I've gotten a lot of support for what I wrote, though it looks like Arutz 7 is taking a pass on it, also on the previous one. I'm glad that I have the blogs, because people are linking the musing, so more will read it. I'm just a simple person, not all that educated, and I write from my guts.
King David suffered lots more than us, and he had already been annointed king. Next Kohelet. but not right now
