Summary
Chapter 07 of Heroes in the Bible: David with Dr. Tony Evans is inspired by 1 Samuel 18.
A Dowry of Blood - As the people shout and chant the mighty name of David, the prideful heart of Saul descends further into a jealous rage. David grows close to the family of Saul. He falls in love and has the opportunity to marry Saul’s daughter. However, the dowry Saul asks for may be a dearth sentence.
Today's opening prayer is inspired by Psalm 46:10, Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Dr. Tony Evans, and I'm excited for you to join me on Heroes in the Bible. |
| 0:06.1 | Please be sure to follow the podcast on Apple or Spotify so that you get the newest episodes |
| 0:12.5 | right as they come out. Welcome to the epic adventure of David, a story of honor, battle, |
| 0:19.5 | jealousy, darkness, friendship, love, scandal, and murder. |
| 0:24.0 | While most people know of David the myth, few know about David the man. We discover more about |
| 0:29.9 | David the man in this episode. Our hero is coming of age in many ways. He has men under his |
| 0:35.9 | command, rapport with the king, and a budding new romance. |
| 0:40.1 | By the end of this episode, we began to see David differently. He is no longer the ruddy and |
| 0:45.4 | small shepherd boy, but a respected and feared warrior. Saul will begin to look at David |
| 0:51.0 | differently as well. David did not pose a threat to Saul before since he was |
| 0:55.7 | just the barred and servant, but it becomes very apparent in this episode that David is destined for |

| 1:20.0 | just how deadly jealousy can be and how any person's rise to prominence will come with enemies. |
| 1:27.0 | This episode will also explore the |
| 1:29.6 | complicated family dynamic of Saul's house. As David becomes closer to Saul's children, |
| 1:35.6 | the line between friend and enemy becomes even more blurred. How will David navigate? |
| 1:41.3 | The tumultuous waters of fame, love, and jealousy? We will see it in our |
| 1:46.4 | seventh episode, A Dary of Blood. This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 1:55.8 | Prelude to Chapter 7. |
| 2:02.6 | Jealousy was the poison that killed the conscience of Judah. |
