1 Samuel 24-25, Psalm 91

Published: May 31, 2022, 4:05 a.m.

At every turn, it seems that Saul is hot on David\u2019s trail until, at long last, he unwittingly happens upon the cave where David is hiding. Saul doesn\u2019t realize, however, that David and his men are there. Saul ventures away from his troops and enters the cave to relieve himself. David takes advantage of this opportunity, but not in the way you might expect from someone who is being hunted down by the ruler of a kingdom. Later, David is snubbed by Nabal, a wealthy businessman, angering David greatly. As he approaches with his men to kill Nabal, Nabal\u2019s wife Abigail intervenes with a peace offering. When he learns of her charity the next morning, his heart gives out and he dies on the spot.
