But now he isnt the only one.

It’s a harrowing picture, one that David struggles with when he is later told the news.
From what we can tell, what Saul and Jonathan are seeing may be this very moment.
Additionally, Jonathan is shot with an arrow, as is Saul.
Both of them are wounded, and seemingly near the brink of death.
If this doesn’t accurately describe the Old Testament story recounted above, we don’t know what would.

The answer may surprise you.
However, the prophet still believes that Saul could change his ways.
That’s no doubt what Jonathan hopes for.
Additionally, in the Old Testament account, Saul dies at his own hand.
There is a reason that the story of King Saul is often considered a tragedy.
As we’ve seen onHouse of David,Saul continues to act irrationally and mercilessly at every turn.
