David's Rhetorical Masterpiece
David said to Saul, why do you listen to the words of humans who say, look David is seeking evil against you? And I will not send out my hand against my Lord because he is the Lord's anointed. We're told that Saul looked behind him and David bowed down his face to the ground and he lay prostrate. So not only is David calling Saul, my Lord, the king, but then he bows down to him. Just imagine what's going through the minds of David's men right now. They're like, this guy's trying to kill you. He still chooses to honor him as the anointed king.
