The introduction to chapter 18 is alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of the sweetness of David's victory over Goliath. However, one with a keen sense of smell will be able to detect the nauseating smell of a rotting corpse. Chapter 18 marks a critical pivot point in the unfolding narrative of David's rise to kingship and the demise of Saul's kingdom. The narrative in this chapter records how the Lord sovereignly initiated the conflict which would end in Saul's suicide and David's exaltation as he sends an evil spirit upon Saul which agitates his already jealous and angry heart. Saul's anger and jealousy toward David quickly turns into a series of evil plots to take David's life. Although David is delivered from these treacherous situations in this narrative, this changed demeanor of Saul toward David portends the very dangerous and humbling circumstances David will have to endure before he receives his crown from the Lord.
