I Samuel 27
David has learned.
Saul has twice now promised to not pursue killing David.
But David is a little wiser these days.
He knows.
Saul will not give up.
So David escapes.
To the land of the Philistines.
Am I the only one who finds this ironic?
The Philistines.
You know, as in Goliath the Philistine.
The one David killed.
The one that launched him into greatness.
The same greatness that caused Saul to start to resent him...
And now where is David?
Living in the land of the Philistines.
Now wouldn't you think the Philistines would have a little difficulty allowing David to live there? You know, after the whole Goliath incident?
Apparently not.
In fact, the king of Gath just gave David the city of Ziklag.
A whole city!
Meanwhile, David goes out and raids other people.
The king Achish asks him where.
David makes up places (in Israel...so not true).
And Achish believes him.
And the plot thickens...

I Samuel 28
