Saul became angry with Jonathan and said to him,“ You stupid traitor! Don’t I realize that to your own disgrace and to the disgrace of your mother’s nakedness you have chosen this son of Jesse?For as long as this son of Jesse is alive on the earth, you and your kingdom will not be established. Now, send some men and bring him to me. For he is as good as dead!”Jonathan responded to his father Saul,“ Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan in order to strike him down. So Jonathan was convinced that his father had decided to kill David.Jonathan got up from the table enraged. He did not eat any food on that second day of the new moon, for he was upset that his father had humiliated David.

Insight is like a life-giving fountain to the one who possesses it, but folly leads to the discipline of fools.

Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning; it is known even in the heart of fools.
