In his sermon to the synagogue in Antioch, Paul emphasized that Jesus is the fulfillment of all of Old Testament history and prophecy.
While David used desperate and even deceptive means of escape, God provided for him because of his grace and faithfulness.
After the Lord rejected Saul as king, he chose a man with a heart oriented toward the Lord.
