He had become jealous of David’s success and wanted to kill David, because he feared David wanted the throne.

Run It Back, a YouTube channel I often watch, did a video this week on “All Dogs Go To Heaven.” It’s tragic what happened to Judith Barsi, and I hope she went to Heaven. It’s incredibly sad, but one must ask how to get there. In real life, one must be truly sorry for their sinful lifestyle and want
