Episode description

Possible connections between Psalm 57 and the background of I Samuel 24
1. The word for "wings" in Psalm 57:1 is the same word "edge" for Saul's garment in I Sam. 24:4, 5, 11, 11
2. The "sons of men" use their tongues against David in Ps. 57:4 and David asks Saul why he is listening to man (same word) who tell him David is trying to kill him.
3. They prepare a net for David's soul or life in Ps. 57:6 and Saul seeks David's life in I Sam. 24:11.
4. While Ps. 57:6 expresses the idea of Lex talionis, in I Sam. 24 Saul who is pursuing David is helpless in David's hands.
