who prayed for saul to regain his sight?
ananias
at this point, paul relates how he hunted down and persecuted christians throughout the holy land until the day he rode for damascus with his brethren. he became blinded by god and heard his voice asking why saul persecuted him. this event along with saul's meeting ananias, a disciple of christ, humbles saul so deeply that he repents of his actions. ananias restores saul's sight and baptizes him in the name of the lord, which leads to saul rejecting his former name and becoming paul.
paul, apostle of christ
6.  exile:  david and his few supporters are on the run.  david “the hunted partridge on the hill.”  an enraged saul gives michal to a new husband as israel begins to suffer serious military setbacks.  years pass.  david renews his promise to regain the ark and gradually increases his outlaw following.  saul is now assailed by both the philistines and david.  one night joab informs david that saul has camped within a mile of david’s settlement and this would be the chance to take him by surprise and destroy him.  david decides otherwise and sneaks into saul’s headquarters on his own, stealing the king’s water and spear as proof of his nocturnal visit and mercy.  the rivals address each other across a valley.  the paranoid saul cannot understand why david did not kill him, yet accuses him of wanting to claim his crown and taunts him about michal.  david by now has a son he loves dearly, absalom, by one of his new wives, but laments the loss of michel and his rejection by saul.  saul becomes increasingly unstable as the philistines close in.  he invokes the ghost of samuel who prophesies his imminent death at gilboa, along with that of his sons.  on the eve of the encounter with the philistines at gilboa jonathan reassures saul that his love for david never affected his love for his father, but saul is beyond reason.  jonathan is killed in the battle and saul falls on his own sword, tormented by feelings for david he cannot understand.  david sings his famous tribute to saul and jonathan “how are the mighty fallen.”
