- "...the lectionary choices this week, following on from last week, result in a picture of the kingdom moving from Saul?s death to David?s crowning as a relatively smooth transition. The David who graciously laments the deaths of Saul and Jonathan appears this week as the natural heir. The intervening chapters present a much more complicated, interesting, if sanguinary, tale."
