1 SAMUEL 27
DAVID LIVES IN GATH + FINISHES THE WORK OF SAUL
Despite Saul’s recent blessing of David, David remains fearful of Saul’s attempts to kill him. David travels to Gath, where Saul no longer seeks after him. David asks Achish, a ruler in Gath, for land. David lives with the Philistines for over a year in a place called Ziklag.
David kills many people in the surrounding areas. God instructs Saul to rid the land of these people many years ago, but Saul left this work undone.
David is fulfilling what God asked of the Israelites, but has to remain peaceful with the people of Gath. David lies about the sheep and livestock he is plundering from the surrounding areas. David is striving to serve God, but had to trick Achish to complete his mission.
