15 And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.
And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.
If the men of my tent did not say, Who has not had full measure of his meat?
A stone has great weight, and sand is crushing; but the wrath of the foolish is of greater weight than these. Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?

Commentary on 1 Samuel 19 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 19
Immediately after David's marriage, which one would have hoped would secure him Saul's affection, we find his troubles coming upon him faster than ever and Saul's enmity to him the cause of all. His death was vowed, and four fair escapes of his from the hurtful sword of Saul we have an account of in this chapter:
Thus God has many ways of preserving his people. Providence is never at a loss.
