1Sa 18:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8–9 : Saul became very angry when he heard the song. He felt jealous because the people praised David more than him. Saul thought, What more can David have but the kingdom? (1 Samuel 18:8 ). From that day on, Saul looked at David with suspicion and fear. He was no longer friendly to David. This shows how envy can poison a person’s heart and make them see others as threats.
