and is not jealous

Little scene in IISam6 and IChron15 illustrates how the liar turns unbelievers against believers. Michal throws a fit that David in his joy exuberantly worships in a manner she feels is unbefitting a king. David responds with humbleness knowing his kingship is not of his own choosing, and certainly less of a kingship than the one above.

Liar uses this instance to instill hatred for David within Michal. The struggle here is not really twixt Michal and David. That is a mere side effect for the real tension twixt Michal and God.

You, hardheart, can hate me all you want. But what you really hate is that you don't know what I know; you don't feel what I feel; you don't have what I have. If you got over yourself for just one second and realized that the grasping is yours for the taking, maybe you'd see the liar for who he is.
