David is now seemingly successful in everything he does while Saul's plans result in increasing frustration, jealousy and fear. The difference is God. David is not successful because he is the man, he is successful because God's favour is on Him. It's all God's grace.
We start to see David and Jonathan's friendship develop in this chapter and where as Saul is envious of David, Jonathan is an example in humility. We see a good example of what it means to put others ahead of yourself in humility. When I see God blessing someone like David do I get jealous like Saul? Or do a rejoice with them, like Jonathan?
