Saul the former king tried to kill David, the rightful and upcoming king, five times, including:
And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. (1Sa 19:1 KJV)
Saul improperly maintained his power position even after David was anointed, and clearly had mixed feelings for David.
Yet David was similar to King Saul, to wield his own power to plan an assassination. As king, David assassinated Uriah in order to cover up David’s sin of adultery:
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die. (2Sa 11:15 KJV)
Arguably, the United States Secret Service was pulled back and became unable to effectively protect candidate former President Trump on Sept 15 as well as on July 13. There are some unusual hints to this effect. One example: shortly after Trump’s rally was announced in July, a rushed First Lady Jill Biden rally was planned in the same region, and this decision pulled human protective resources on that day. Second: the FBI washed the crime scene, removing all evidence. Third: planned visual blockages between the rooftop and the stage were not installed as planned; Fourth: unarmed civilians noticed the shooter on July 13, taking photos and video, and on Sept 15 another civilian provided the key photo to catch the shooter. Clearly, Secret Service failed in to keep both areas safe in the first place.
Pulling the Secret Service back to allow Trump to be hit – twice – is like David pulling his men back so that Uriah could be killed (2 Samuel 11). The pullback from Uriah is clearly recorded in history, yet the modern pullback from Trump remains to be definitively known.
This is how David prayed in the midst of assassination attempts against him:
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. (Psa 59:1 KJV) [[To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.]]
And this is how David repented for his own adultery and murder of her husband:
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. (Psa 51:1 KJV) [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.]]
Trump made a last-minute decision to play golf Sept 15; and yet, shooter Ryan Routh knew about it somehow and was on stakeout at the golf course to line up his shot. A passerby witnessed Routh running to his car during his escape and snapped a photo of the car and license plate, which he delivered to the police. Routh’s car was stopped on on a road shortly after, he was taken into custody for questioning, and he was then identified by the witness with the camera.
Ryan Routh, an antisemite, Trump hater, and former Republican voter, evidently became disappointed with Trump, a Republican. Apparently, Routh wrote a book describing his issues. Basically, Trump did not fulfill some of Routh’s leftist ideals. Thus, Routh voted solidly for the Democrat Party ever since 2019. That timing may relate to the 2018 timing when the Trump Administration heeded the 1995 Congressional law to relocate the US Embassy back to Jerusalem, recognized Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights, and built peace agreements between Israel and Arab nations such as Bahrain and the UAE. Routh thinks Israel ought to be replaced by Palestine, and as such, may have taken offense at actions such as those. Routh also worked to recruit Afghan warriors to fight in Ukraine. It would be fair to assume that Routh was emboldened by the weakened Secret Service performance at the first assassination attempt on July 13, and clearly, on September 15 the security detail was clearly not strong enough to match the current threat level against the challenger for the incumbent.
