Shepherd's Crown

Previously

…Saul began to fear David, not because of his skill with the sling or his bravery on the battlefield, but because the Lord was with him. The shepherd boy, the overlooked son, the one who had faced the giant with only faith and a stone, was now a threat, a living testament to a power that Saul could not comprehend, a power that was slowly, inexorably, beginning to weave the threads of David’s destiny towards a crown he had never sought, but was undeniably meant to wear. The giant was slain, but the true battle, the battle for the kingdom, had just begun.
