15 And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying, `Bring him up in the bed unto me,' -- to put him to death.
And Saul hearkeneth to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul sweareth, `Jehovah liveth -- he doth not die.'
If not -- say ye, O men of my tent, `O that we had of his flesh, we are not satisfied.'
A stone `is' heavy, and the sand `is' heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than they both. Fury `is' fierce, and anger `is' overflowing, And who standeth before jealousy?

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.
