Day 62

1 Samuel 23; 1 Samuel 24; 1 Samuel 25; 1 Samuel 26; 1 Samuel 27; 1 Samuel 28

David smites the Philistines and saves Keilah. He continues to flee from Saul. Jonathan comforts him in Ziph. David finds Saul asleep in a cave and spares his life. Saul confesses that David is more righteous than he. David swears that he will not cut off the seed of Saul. Samuel dies. Nabal rebuffs David and refuses to give him food. Abigail intercedes, saves Nabal, and gives David a present. David is pacified, Nabal dies, and David marries Abigail. David again spares Saul’s life. He again refuses to stretch forth his hand against the Lord’s anointed. Saul and David separate. David flees to Achish at Gath. He dwells among the Philistines for sixteen months. Saul inquires of the witch of En-dor for revelation. She foretells his death, the death of his sons, and the defeat of Israel by the Philistines.
