1 SAMUEL 29

DAVID SAVED FROM AN UNFORTUNATE REALITY

David, who is still living in Gath, is expected to fight with the Philistines. He had tricked Achish, one of the leaders of Gath, into thinking he was on their side, when really he was just trying to avoid Saul’s wrath.

Although Achish trusts David, the other Philistine leaders do not trust him to fight on their side, so they send him away. David was close to being in a bad situation: having to either fight his own people or blow his cover with the Philistines. David prays for God’s protection and God provides!
