23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood.

New King James Version
5 So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and [a]behaved wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants. 6 Now it had happened as they were coming home, when David was returning from the slaughter of the [b]Philistine, that the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments. 7 So the women sang as they danced, and said:
“Saul has slain his thousands,
And David his ten thousands.”
8 Then Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?” 9 So Saul [c]eyed David from that day forward.
10 And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house. So David played music with his hand, as at other times; but there was a spear in Saul’s hand. 11 And Saul cast the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” But David escaped his presence twice.
12 Now Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, but had departed from Saul. 13 Therefore Saul removed him from [d]his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 14 And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him. 15 Therefore, when Saul saw that he behaved very wisely, he was afraid of him. 16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
David Marries Michal
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the Lord’s battles.” For Saul thought, “Let my hand not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
18 So David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?” 19 But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.
20 Now Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 21 So Saul said, “I will give her to him, that she may [e]be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You shall be my son-in-law today.”
22 And Saul commanded his servants, “Communicate with David secretly, and say, ‘Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become the king’s son-in-law.’ ”
23 So Saul’s servants spoke those words in the hearing of David. And David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be a king’s son-in-law, seeing I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?”

“18:5-23 | David showed extreme humility despite his great success. The whole nation was singing his praises, but he continued to serve Saul and even refused the honor of marrying Saul’s daughter Merab because he did not feel worthy. Popularity did not replace his perspective.’
’18:5 | The phrase he behaved wisely is used two other times in this chapter to describe David’s character (18:14, 15). David’s success began when he killed the giant, but it continued in everything else he did because he did not let prosperity blind him to his need for God’s wisdom.’
’18:7-9 | With the Lord’s authority removed from him, Saul’s authority rested almost entirely on his military achievements. To maintain his position, he had to be recognized as the strongest man in the kingdom. The women’s song sparked Saul’s insane jealously of David, marking the turning point in their relationship. From that day forward, Saul would seek to remove David as a threat to the throne (18:13, 17, 21; 19:1).” (THE JEREMIAH STUDY BIBLE—DR. DAVID JEREMIAH—NEW KING JAMES STUDY BIBLE—WORTHY)

“1 Samuel 19:1-3
Complete Jewish Bible
19 Sha’ul told Y’honatan his son and all his servants that they should have David killed. But because Y’honatan was very fond of David, 2 he told him, “My father Sha’ul is out to have you killed. Therefore you must be very cautious tomorrow morning. Find a well-concealed place to hide in. 3 I will go out and stand next to my father in the countryside where you’re hiding. I will talk with my father about you; and if I learn anything, I’ll tell you.”

Interesting, isn’t it beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, that Jonathan would choose the side of GOD Most High, over his own flesh and blood (our man of GOD, “King David” over his father). For our LORD’S Holy Spirit taught us, revealed to us, through His most Holy Word as well as the revelation He gave to His servant/son Dr. David Jeremiah, that Jonathan believed that our man of GOD, “King David” was the next king of Israel;
“1 Samuel 18:1-4

Saul Resents David
18 Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the [a]soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 2 Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father’s house anymore. 3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. 4 And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.

“18:1-4 | By placing his own royal robe and armor on David, Jonathan did more than express his covenantal love for his friend. He willingly sacrificed his position as the heir to Israel’s throne and acknowledged David as the nation’s next king—something that Saul would obsessively strive against as long as he lived.” (THE JEREMIAH STUDY BIBLE—DR.

Today, beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, we choose the religion of politics as well as those politicians, whom our LORD-GOD has removed His Holy Spirit from, as well as the religion of skin color, as well as the religion of man-made male and female, over GOD created male and female: over GOD Most High, and then claim to be “Christian” claiming our prosperity being from the GOD Most High, Whom we have rejected: that the Scripture be fulfilled;

The servants of satan have bowed down, worshiping satan and in return, he has given them money (made them millionaires and billionaires) given them authority in his world kingdom (made them politicians [leaders in his world kingdom] made them sports gods, entertainment gods [making his worshipers bow down to them] made them false prophets, speaking [preaching] lies and having their followers bow down to them, all in the name of religion; for satan has made them gods unto themselves: having rejected GOD Most High to worship the father of lies, satan.
