1 Samuel. At every turn, Saul thought himself the poor victim. That thinking gave him "permission" to do whatever he wanted to defend himself. He could have yielded his life to God; he would have still lost the kingdom, but he could have had a good reign. Instead, he lived in hatred and fear of David. His consuming passion was David's destruction. His enemies got strong and God actually helped David through it.
David, on the other hand, sought God instead of the kingdom. He refused to take matters into his own hands. When God was his passion, God orchestrated everything else on David's behalf. It's a great lesson to remember today!
