David
decided to stay with the Philistines so that Saul would quit pursuing him.
His 600 men and their families stayed with him in Ziklag.
David and his men would raid different areas and tell the king he was
raiding the Negev of Judah or the Negev of Jerahmeel or the Negev of the Kenites
so the king would think he was attacking Israel.
Now I do not understand all of this killing and destruction that was
going on and I think that there is something missing here like the why God was
having David do all this but His thinking is above ours.
Now the Philistines assembled and were getting ready to battle against
Saul and his men and Saul was afraid because he knew David was among them so he
went to the witch of Endor because God was not with him anymore and needed to
see what was going to happen. Well
we know from the previous readings that Samuel had predicted the death of Saul
and his sons by the sword. Now on
the way to the battle the leaders of the Philistine army feared that David would
turn against them in battle and sent them back home but when they got there a
raiding party of Amalekites had stolen their wives, children and livestock so
they went to go get them back and David called upon the LORD to see if he was to
go and the LORD said yes so they went and destroyed the Amalekites and got all
their wives, children and livestock back plus all of the plunder from the
Amalekites in which David sent to all the places to where David and his men
roamed as a gift. Now while all
this was going on the Philistines defeat the Israelites and killed Saul’s sons
and Saul killed himself with his own sword.
Messy stuff! Tomorrow we
begin 2 Samuel. Stay tuned God has
a message for you.
