I am Abner Commander of Saul’s Army The Lord’s Army. I have met this David Of which many goodness is spoken. I saw that he was brave But he would need skills in battle to become a warrior. I trained him with Jonathan. Jonathan was quicker with the spear. His hand traveled faster with the spear to the target. While David was still pulling back his arm. Jonathan's spear stuck through so much it was hard to take out. But David's spear nicked the target then fell to the ground. I am sure that it is because Jonathan was more skilled Because of practice Because of experience And also, because he was stronger. He had the height of his father The heart of his father. But not his rage. Jonathan was a better warrior that the King because he kept a cool head.
I’m sure David’s skill with staff and sling did not prepare him for spearwork. But David was relentless in his pursuit. And eventually with practice He learned how to march and not always run Gradually learned how to fire a bow from distance. Dare I say, better than Jonathan I guess it was because his skill with the sling Helped him with missile weaponry. But I had to tell him to always aim. And that just because you could fire 13 arrows in a minute Did not mean it was reasonable to do so. So eventually over time, David grew Even though when he stopped he was at Jonathan’s shoulders. I knew he would be a general. So I made him one of my commanders. Then a servant came to where me, Jonathan, and David were. Saying that the Philistines were coming. I hoped David was ready for war. Because he understood warfare And not just fighting now.
