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.
