And the words which David spoke were reported to Saul, and he sent for him — David's words *va'yishmeu et ha'devarim asher dibber David* reach Saul's ears, suggesting both the power of bold speech in a climate of fear and the attention that such confidence naturally attracts to itself. Saul's *va'yiqra'ehu*, called for him, is a summons, yet it represents an opening—the king reaching toward the voice that has spoken with authority. The movement of David from the ranks toward the royal presence mirrors a spiritual ascent, the emergence from anonymity into the sphere of decision-making power.
