1. What did Saul do to Jonathan when Jonathan asked his father, "What has he done?" (20:33)?

Hurled his spear at him to kill him. Yelled and screamed. Answered his question nicely. Politely told his son to mind his own business.

2. When David escaped to the cave of Adullam, who came to him (22:1-2)?

Nobody, he was by himself. Saul and his men. The entire country. His brothers and his father's household and all those who were in distress.

3. Why did Jonathan not eat on the second day of the month with his father, after his father attempted to kill him (20:34)?

He really did not like the food served. He was grieved at his father's shameful treatment of David. He ate a big lunch, so he was not hungry. He knew he would be leaving and did not want to do so on a full stomach.

4. After David left Jonathan, what was his next stop (21:1)?

Keilah. America. Nob. Naioth.

5. How would Jonathan let David know if Saul was determined to hurt him (20:21-22)?

He would fire three shots in the air from his rifle. Jonathan would call David on his cellphone. He would shoot arrows and yell to the boy gathering that the arrows were beyond him. He would not really let him know.

6. Who else did Saul want killed because they "sided with David" (22:17)?

The priests of YAHWEH. All of his children. Everyone in the country. Nobody, because Saul was very forgiving.

7. Which one of Saul's servants was with Ahimelech when David was there (21:7)?

Goliath, the Philistine. Jonathan, Saul's son. Achish, the king. Doeg, the Edomite.

8. How did Jonathan feel towards David (20:17)?

They were mere acquaintances. He tolerated him. Loved him like his own self. They did not get along at all.

9. How did David act in front of Achish the king of Gath (21:13)?

Silly, very silly. Acted insane, like a madman. Very respectful of the king. No different than he always acted.

10. When the king's officials would NOT kill the priests, who did (22:18)?

Doeg. Jonathan. Saul himself. David.
