BRAGADAYJAH 881


BRAGADAYJAH 881

Predictably, and as David well knew and told Jonathon his friend, Saul would go into a mad rage when he found out that David was not coming to his table so he could take one more and perhaps a final stab at him.  Perhaps he had instructed his cook to prepare a special portion of meat or wine for David.  In any event David was not there, and he was not coming. So Saul aimed his invective at his son Jonathon, even to calling him what in modern parlance as a son of a …. you know what. Here’s what he said to Jonathon.  “Thou son of the perverse, rebellious women, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own confusion, and to the confusion of thy mother’s nakedness?  For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the earth thou shall not be established nor thy kingdom?  Therefore go and fetch him to me so that he shall surely die.”  Having heard his father’s words, Jonathon asked his father, why should David be slain and for what cause, and what has he done? And Saul cast a javelin at Jonathon intending to kill him and it missed; but Jonathon was left in no doubt that his father’s intention was to kill David. So Jonathon rose from the table in fierce anger and did not eat; for he was grieved for David because his father had done him shame.
