1 Samuel 30-31: Saul’s Fall from Sorcery to Suicide
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
David is playing a dangerous game with a lot of moving parts. He is a mercenary soldier deceiving his employer, Achish who just happens to be in league with 4 other powerful Philistine leaders.
At this time, Achish and their friends are attacking David’s people the Israelites. Achish believes David has been raiding the Israelites, when in fact, he was raiding the Geshurites, Girzites and Amalekites.
Achish may be fooled about David, but the Amalekites are not. David arrives home after a 3 day’s Journey and discovers that those Amalakites he had been raiding have retaliated and walked off with their women and children.
In summary, David is working for Achish, Achish is attacking David’s people, David is attacking Canaanites and lying to Achish about it, and one of the Canaanite tribes, the Amalekites, is raiding David’s camp. It’s a mess, but God loves a good story.
Thank you for being a part of the club.
