These works of art present David's gift of music and it's healing properties .

I have read that the "evil spirit" that came upon Saul came as migraine headaches. I understand the overwhelming pain and nausea and the horror and dread of this most terrible condition. Please believe me when I say that I have wished for death while in the throws of this horrific experience. They are devastating. I am so pleased that after suffering for over 40 years that they have finally released me and I can live my life free from fear of getting them.

Thank you for reminding me how much God loves me and He cares for me.

Good Morning, Dan.

In all my years as a Music therapist, I have never had a SPEAR thrown at me. Other things, but never a spear.

Interesting to me to see all the different settings in which artists have placed this story. Many remarkable illustrations and paintings, such as Hole, Plyusnin, Kronberg, Josephson and of course the stained glass windows.

Very nice. Thank you for posting.

I really like the composition of #17, Kronberg, and it's beautifully presented as well, with its vibrant light.

Notice the way David's hands point to Saul's brooding, dark, and evil face. The use of light from Saul's own right foot, thigh, and shoulder draw the eye to that same face.

Where David's farthest pointing/strumming left hand is highlighted by the light at Saul's left knee...almost an upside-down exclamation point!

The coloring is beautiful as is the stark difference btwn David and Saul's face(s). (Saul also has the spear poised)!

I like the ones where it’s just Saul and David.
