1Samuel 31

It wasn't David who killed Saul.  It wasn't even the Philistines. It was himself.

Remember that David had the chance but refused to take it. When it became clear that the Philistines were going to either torture him before death or defile his body after, Saul thought it better to be killed by an Israelite than by an 'uncircumcised Philistine'. When his armor-bearer wouldn't do it, he did it himself, thus ending the sad tale of King Saul.

2Samuel starts next Monday.
