How not to display accurate empathy I -- Sour hour of prayer -- How not to display accurate empathy ii -- It takes a miracle -- On giving up your son -- When ministers indulge themselves -- A summons, not a call -- The splendor is gone -- You can't mess with the covenant chest -- As far as this yahweh has helped us -- Appoint us a king -- How Saul lost some donkeys and found more than he bargained for -- Is Saul among the prophets, too? -- How not to evade the draft -- Far be it from me to sin by not praying for you -- When the king has to take decisive action -- The fog of war -- When the king isn't tough enough -- Yahweh's good spirit and Yahweh's bad spirit -- How to recycle your killer instinct -- How to be a dysfunctional royal family -- Everyone is against me -- Friendship -- David on the run -- Fool by name and fool by nature -- Who can lay hands on Yahweh's anointed and get away with it? -- What do you do when you're desperate? -- A last act of loyalty to Saul -- How are the mighty fallen -- The struggle for power -- On following up your good ideas but not taking yourself too seriously -- Little things can have terrible consequences and foreshadow tragedy -- A house and a household -- The peak of David's achievement -- But the thing David had done was displeasing in Yahweh's eyes -- The man who has learned how to be a prophet -- The price the family begins to pay -- The grief of a sister and the strife between brothers -- Absalom's coup -- Wise advice treated as folly -- Leaderly calculation and mother love -- The god of the storm -- I have kept Yahweh's ways? -- The last words of David -- I would rather fall into God's hands than into human hands -- I will not offer worship that costs me nothing.
