Summary

1 Samuel 18 is one of the greatest friendship stories of all time--it shows us not only WHY friendships are important but HOW to go about developing them. And it weaves these beautiful lessons along the thread-line of the main point of these David stories: how God used David to prepare Israel for the Messiah.
