"You've Got a Friend" / 1 Samuel 8:1-16 / Jim Rosenquist

1 – In verses 1-3, verse 1 says the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David. What does that mean? How does that happen? Why did it happen?

2 – In verse 4, other than material things, what was Jonathan conveying to David? What does it mean?

3 – In verses 6-9, what are the women celebrating? What were they trying to say in their singing? Why does it anger Saul? What does this say about Saul?

4 – In verses 10-11, did the harmful spirit cause Saul to be envious, or merely exploit an already present attitude? Was Saul temporarily insane when he tried to kill David? How do you know?

5 – In verse 12, why was Saul afraid of David? Will people love you when they recognize the Holy Spirit within you?Why?

6 – We all long for a friend like David had in Jonathan, someone who loves us and our soul is knit to. How can we have such a friendship?
