Saul sees that GOD loves David and has found favor with him, and not with Saul. This makes him angry and he tries to convince his son Jonathon to kill David. But Jonathon loves David and tells him to run away.
For 12 years, David is on the run and is forced to hide in caves in the mountainside with the lowest of people. Usually these people had Leprosy, or some other disease that exiled them from their cities.
But this was not the end of David. One day while David was in battle, Jonathon and Saul were killed on Mt. Gilboa while fighting with the Philistines. Though David was sad, he imediatly had to take up his new position as king.
David was a promising king that won every battle put before him, and ruled a rich land with good people. But David had problems of his own.
