**Questions for Reflection and Discussion:**

-  Which of these stories would you most want to study further?

-  Go back and read whatever story you just mentioned and make note of 2-4 details that seem significant. How do these support or adjust the bigger picture just presented?

-  What can we do so that we get to receive God’s support rather than his rejection?

-   Where has envy crept in and kept a hold on your mind?

-  Why is it so important that David not seek vengeance? How likely are you to follow his example in this regard?

-  How does Jonathan look like John the Baptist, and what we can learn from both of them?
