1 Samuel – Saul and David

Chapter 19

19:1-20:42 Make up and act out a dramatic story about these events. Your play might have several scenes: 19:1-18; 19:19-24; 20:1-4; 20:5-9; 20:10-17; 20:18-40; 20:41-42.

19:1-3 What do you learn about Saul? What do you learn about Jonathan?

Tell this story as if it happened to you. In your story, Saul would be a bad leader that you know. And Jonathan would be someone who has helped you before.

19:4-7 What do you think about what Jonathan said? What do you think about what Saul said?

19:8-18 Put this story into your own words. In 19:7, David went back to serve Saul. What changes may explain why Saul was trying to kill David? What do you think about that?

What do you learn about David? What do you learn about Saul’s daughter Michal? In what ways was Michal not a help to David? What do you think about all that?

19:19-24 What did Saul want to do? What did he do? What happened? What do you think about all that?
