As we study the closing chapters of 1 Samuel, we read about David’s encounter with Nabal and Abigail, Saul’s desperate decision to visit a medium, and finally, Saul’s tragic death. In these accounts, we see both Saul's and David’s imperfections, yet a striking difference in their attitudes toward God. These final chapters reaffirm what the whole book of 1 Samuel has shown us: God is willing and able to work through flawed people, but the condition of our hearts matters greatly.
