4. Samuel confronts Saul about his sin with the words, “What have you done” (1 Samuel 13:11)? These words confront the sinner with the Law. The goal of the Law is to bring people to repentance. What does God’s Word indicate is the result of repentance (Acts 3:19)?

5. Saul seems willing to put his son Jonathan to death because of the foolish oath Saul had made earlier. But the men of the army interceded for Jonathan and saved his life. They said, “should Jonathan die—he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of the head will fall to the ground, for he did this today with God’s help.” So the men rescued Jonathan, and he was not put to death” (1 Samuel 14:45). Contrast and compare Jonathan and Jesus.
