Saul used his son and daughters as pawns in his plan to kill David, his arch enemy. Contrary to his plans, Jonathan and Michal aided David. David’s goal was to reach the throne thus he befriended and fooled them. It was a sympathetic author from the house of David who exaggerated the description of love between David and Jonathan and the tense relationship between Saul and his son Jonathan. By doing so he tried to legitimize David’s right to the throne.
