1 Samuel 29: David ? Faithful to God, to God's Enemies Also - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Host Rev. AJ Espinosa studies 1 Samuel 29.

“But what have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day I entered your service until now, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?” How can David say this with a straight face? He’s been lying to Achish all along! Yet David speaks in chapter 29 with the same sincerity as he did back in chapter 26 with Saul. David demonstrates the paradoxical submissiveness of God’s people, showing love and loyalty to both God and to the enemies of God—the same paradoxical faithfulness demonstrated by Christ and the early church. Through God’s providence, David’s rejection both gets him away from Saul while also allowing him to deal with the Amalekites who have raided Ziklag.
