David is on the run
from King Saul
King Saul is hunting David
but the Lord is not letting Saul find David
THE LORD IS PROTECTING DAVID
&
THE LORD IS GUIDING DAVID
David gets some food, 5 loaves of bread
and GOLIATH’s sword from a priest in a place called NOD
BUT WHEN SAUL FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS
HE GOES CRAZY
AND WANTS TO PUNISH ALL 85 PRIESTS IN NOD
David is on the move
From NOD
David goes to GATH but doesn’t stay long as the King Achish’s men are unhappy that David is there
So David heads to a cave of ADULLAM where his brothers plus 400 men join him
David goes to MIZPEH in MOAB where he drops his parents off for safe keeping
A prophet tells David to return to Judah. So David goes to the forest of HERETH
SAUL HEARS ABOUT THIS WHILE SITTING UNDER A TAMARSIK TREE IN GIBEAH
(SAUL TELLS HIS MEN THAT DAVID ID TRYING TO KILL HIM!!!)
David hears that the Philistines are stealing grain from the KEILAHS
and the Lord tells David to rescue them
WHEN SAUL HEARD DAVID WAS IN THE WALLED CITY OF KEILAH
HE TAUGHT DAVID WAS TRAPPED!!
Saul told his army to besiege Keilah
So David left Keilah
1 SAMUEL 23:14
David next went to ZIPH, then HORESH,
THE MEN OF ZIPH BETRAYED DAVID’S LOCATION AND TOLD SAUL verse 21
But David moved to MOAN
Eventually Saul and David were on opposite sides of the SAME MOUNTAIN
(but an urgent message got to Saul that the Philistines were attacking Israel)
So David escapes Saul!
