This, according to King Saul, is a lesson about the power of God to deliver (v. 13). Deliverance, or salvation from any number of threats, difficulties, enemies, and sin, is a common theme in the Old Testament. God is always ready to deliver, save, or rescue us. We need to rely on Him for it, give Him credit when it comes, and refuse to act sinfully toward those from whom we have been delivered. Yes, so far, this king was doing well. Monarchies can work.
