  1 Samuel 15:22 Famous WT verse emphasizing obedience.

  If Saul was severely disciplined for offering a burnt sacrifice, then what's going on with David in 2 Samuel 6?

  17They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the Lord. 18 After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of theLord Almighty. 19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes.

  In mythology, the hero always gets away with shit that mere mortals are punished for. The Hebrew mythology, the Bible, has David as a hero and Saul the villian!

  just saying!

  The reason why wt writers like David so much ,is, that he got away with violating every law on the books, his victims were punished, and wt's history and it's future is full of the same sordid goings - on. They hope they can get away with it too.

  ...true, although they severely downplay the "friendship" he had with Jonathan.
