1. What did David's Dad, Jesse, ask him to do that got David to the troops (17:17)?

Ride his bide to check on them. David just left on his own, without permission. Take the long way to town. He asked him to take supplies to them.

2. How close did David and Jonathan become (18:1,3)?

They never really cared much for each other. Jonathan loved David as himself; as one in spirit. Over time, they became good acquaintances. They tolerated each other.

3. What did Goliath say that dismayed and terrified the Israelites (17:10-11)?

"Your Mommy doesn't know how to cook." "This day you will cease to exist." "This day I defy the ranks of Israel. Give me a man and let us fight each other." "Give me blue clouds and bright sunshine."

4. Why was it said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" (19:23-24)?

He walked along prophesying when YAHWEH's spirit came upon him until he came to Naioth. Somebody just started a rumor, without reason. Saul told folks he was a prophet. He talked in his sleep.

5. Who did Saul's oldest daughter, Merab, marry (18:19)?

Abner. David. An unknown fellow. Adriel.

6. David's wife, Michal, tricked her Dad's men when they came looking for David. How did she do that (19:13)?

Sent them elsewhere to look for David. Cried so they would go away. Pretended to be crazy. Put an idol in David's bed with some goats' hair on the head.

7. Why did Saul think that David was not able to go out against Goliath (17:33)?

Because David was not allowed to fight. Because David was only a boy. Because Saul had someone else in mind to fight Goliath. Because Saul wanted to fight Goliath himself.

8. After David killed the Philistine, many women of Israel greeted King Saul with singing and dancing and the song they sang gave credit to Saul for killing how many people (18:7)?

Tens of thousands. None, he was such a nice guy. Thousands. Hundreds.

9. What did Jonathan do when his father, Saul, told him and the attendants to kill David (19:1-2)?

He warned David. Cried. Tried to trick David. Nothing.

10. What did the Philistine compare himself to when coming closer to David to fight (17:443)?

A cute little "puddy" cat. A lion. A dog. A grumpy old bear.
