Because...
Saul was not faithful to the LORD;
Because...
he did not obey the LORD;
Because...
he went to people for help instead of God; the LORD left him and he died.
Because...
David was faithful; he became stronger and stronger and the LORD was with him.
These chapters talk about David's chief soldiers, mighty men of valor that David was king over.
I Chronicles 11:17 - David had a strong desire for some water from Bethlehem so, "The Three," broke through the enemies lines and got David the water. When David realized what they had done he refused to drink it, saying it would be like drinking their blood since they risked their lives to get it. "Humility – the mark of great leadership. Service – the result of humility." (From The Leadership Summit 2010 conference.) David didn't feel like the people under him "owed" him anything.
The higher you go in leadership positions the more there is required of you.
When God is on your side (because of HIS faithfulness to your obedience), NOTHING or NOBODY can defeat you. Benaiah went up against an Egyptian that was 7 1/2 feet tall with a huge spear, and he only had a club, but Benaiah grabbed the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.
Next Entry: I Chronicles 13:1 – 14:17
