Our lesson this week describes the death of one of the most puzzling char acters in the Old Testament history. It occurred nearly a year and a half after the event studied last week. As we saw then, David trusted neither Sauls repentance nor his promise; and decided that he could live in peace and security only by placing himself beyond Saul's jurisdiction. So he went to the Philistine city of Gath, where some years before, he had feigned madness, and tendered allegiance to Achish, the king. His followers, six hundred in number, as well as him ! self, took their families with them, and j set up their households. I Perhaps a residence in the royal city | under the eyes of the king, soon be I came irksome to one who had so long ! lived the life of a freebooter, and was the undisputed master of his own ac j tions, So he requested that a smaller : and more remote city be assigsed to j him. Accordingly Ziklag was selected. | and thither he betook himself. This place was probably on the border land far to the south, and where David seemed to have as much independence of action as in his former life. At any rate, he made forays when and where he pleased, and unhesitatingly lied to his royal master, in accousting for the spoil brought up for the king to select his own share from,. own of The Philistine cities formed a fed eration for a more serious invasion of the land of Israel than ever before. In the northern part of Saul's domin ions was the great plain of Esdraelon, thes, and even now, one of the most I fertile regions in the world, which they coveted for a permanent possession. So an army of invasion and occupa tion was organized, and marched in that direction. David was drafted, iwith other leaders, and seemed to have j gone readily enough. On arriving at | the general rendezvous, however, ihe lords of the Philistines objected to Da vid's presence in the army. Achish pleaded for him, but was overruled, [ and he sent David back home. On ar riving there he found that the city had [ been pillaged by- the Amalekites, and everything taken away. Upon inquiry, the Lord directed him to pursue the pillagers, which he successfully did, recovering an immense amount of spoil beside that belonging to his own city. Portions of this spoil were sent to the cities of Israel, in the South country. Meadwhlle, the armies of the Phil istine and of Saul confronted each other at the southern edge of the great plain of Esdraelon, the battleground of the ages. Saul, comparatively an old man now. rejected of God, disappoint ed, harassed, partially demented, hav I ing vainly sought direction from the God of Israel, turned in desperation, to the devil for help. In obedience to | the Mosaic law, he had destroyed or banished from his kingdom "all the wizards and those who had familiar spirits." But learning of a witch at Endor, he resolved to consult her as to the future. Disguising himself, he went by night, around the Philistine army, found the woman, and asked that Samuel be called up. | As if in response to her incantation, but entirely unexpected by her, and I evidently to her great consternation, she saw the figure of an old man. clad in a royal robe rising out of the ground. It is probable that Saul saw nothing at all, but recognized Samuel by the woman's description. He also heard the dead prophet's voice. The message was a hopeless one. Fore warned as to the fate of himself and sons, and knowing the issue of the impending battle, he met the onslaught of the enemy on the morrow, and fought with the bravery of despair. With the bravest of his choice men, Including his three beloved sons, ly ing dead around him. himself sorely wounded, and surrounded by enemies, he begged his armor-bearer to slay him lest he fall into the hands of the foe. Upon the refusal of that official I to comply, he placed the hilt of his j own sword on the ground, and throw 1 ing his weight of his body on the naked point, he was pierced through the vitals and died. His armor bearer did likewise, and the Philistine victory j was complete. (The invaders took j possession of those cities of the plain | which were captured, and from which the people fled, and dwelt therein until driven out by David in the coming years.) When the dead were stripped, the bodies of Saul and his sons were I beheaded, the heads being sent to the houses of the idols in the Philis tine cities, and the bodies exposed on the walls of Bethshan, the most prom inent city in the plain. Saul's armor was taken to "the house of the Ash taroth," supposed to have been the temple of Venus at Askelon. When the men of Jabesh-Gilead, east of the Jordan, heard of the indignity put upon Saul's body, they remem bered the terrible fate from which the men of their city had been de livered by Saul at the very beginning of his reign, so they traveled all night, secured the bodies, took them to their | | j 'IBianq luooop e uiaqt oas8 'X }|0 umo and, fasting, mourned for Saul seven days. Thus passes oft the stage of action two striking characters. Of the young er man, Jonathan, nothing but good can be said. In many commendable traits, he was far superior to his friend Dav^d, and his memory, save its untimely and tragic ending, is al together pleasant. At the grave of llaul, we hesitate a long time. That he was not wholly a bad man, the unbroken affection of his family and the undeviating loyalty of his subjects furnish ample proof. His private life was much purer than that of David or Solomon; and there is no evidence of his having tyran nized over, or misgoverned his people. His trouble seems to have grown out of his Godless life. He was essentially selfish, and he always esteemed self aggrandizement as paramount to the j good of his people, or the glory of ' , God. Step by step we see hi mgo downward from a jovful coronation to a self-inflicted death in the midst I of national defeat; and from propre | sying under the influence of the spirit ! of God to sealing an unholy compact | with the powers of darkness. A colossal, eternal warning, he stands in naked deformity, in full view of every soul in which Self is en throned. It is a striking commentary on the life of Saul, that the compiler of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah makes no mention of him, save to re cord the circumstances of his death, and add this much more; "So Saul died for his trespass which he com mitted against Jehovah because of the word of Jehovah which he kept not; and also for that he asked counsel of one that had a familiar spirit to in quire thereby, and inquired not of Je hovah; therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David, the son of Jesse.
