Spears,and behaving myself!!..

Today i am grateful for....a good nights sleep..Praise Him. In my Bible reading today it was talking about David and King Saul,David had killed the Giant, and before he even returned to see the King, who he had not met before, people were praising him, he was a young boy after all,women were making up songs, saying'Saul has killed his thousands and David his tens of thousands' Saul became jealous, and the Bible says 'God sent an Evil Spirit to him', then he tried to kill David by throwing a spear at him, and then hoped the Philistines would kill him.Davids reaction was most interesting to me, and i Think the Lord is drawing a parallel between my situation with my Ex and Me,David 'behaved himself' before Saul, after dodging the spear!!!..
So what does that phrase' behaved himself 'mean in my situation? He obeyed the King and went out to lead the Armies,and others observed his reaction to the Spear, so i must assume he did not talk about the King doing bad things to him.(he made a close bond with Saul's son Jonathan, and Saul's daughter loved Him too), was Saul jealous about this too?
So David did not react or retaliate in any way to any of Saul's actions, people observed this and maybe trusted God more because of the Good example set?
Wow, amazing example to live up too! Praise Him
