Speaker 1: Hey, sis, dad, Mom, come on your story. Hours on
Speaker 1: presenting your story, hour building for a better tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Hello, they're boys and girls.
Speaker 3: I'm Ed Carol and I'm Uncle Dan.
Speaker 2: Hi everyone, We're glad you've joined us today. As we
Speaker 2: continue the story of David.
Speaker 3: Let's see our story ended last time with David fleeing
Speaker 3: from the clutches of King Saul.
Speaker 2: David went to the Philistine city of Gath, where he
Speaker 2: asked King Akish for refuge.
Speaker 3: But the king's servants thought they recognized David as an enemy.
Speaker 2: That's when David pretended to be insane in an effort
Speaker 2: to fool them.
Speaker 3: But he disgusted the king with his act, and he
Speaker 3: was driven out of the city.
Speaker 2: You can read the story for yourself in the Bible.
Speaker 2: It's in First Samuel, chapter twenty two, a story which
Speaker 2: we call David Escapes.
Speaker 4: Now, David had fled from King Agish, the king of
Speaker 4: the Philistines, and sought refuge from Saul among the mountains
Speaker 4: of Judah. Cast down from his high position in the kingdom,
Speaker 4: there seemed to be no place for him to go.
Speaker 4: After traveling a distance of about fifteen miles in this
Speaker 4: wild country, David found shelter in the cave of Adullam,
Speaker 4: one of the many caves in that area.
Speaker 1: This is a big cave, large and airy. A small
Speaker 1: band of men hidden and here could protect themselves against
Speaker 1: an entire army if necessary. I think I'll be quite
Speaker 1: safe here for a while. At least I'll walk farther
Speaker 1: into the cave and try to find a dry, secluded place.
Speaker 1: This is an ideal spot. I can't be seen yet,
Speaker 1: I can see the mouth of the cave, sandy floor too,
Speaker 1: rather comfortable. That was a narrow escape I had. It
Speaker 1: was my own fault, too whirst. I lied to the
Speaker 1: high priest Ahimelech, and I feigned madness before King Akish
Speaker 1: the second lie. One lie leads to another. I've been
Speaker 1: under terrible pressure, Saul trying to kill me, driven from
Speaker 1: my home and loved ones. I've been hunted and persecuted,
Speaker 1: until every man looks like a spy and a betrayer.
Speaker 1: Oh can God forgive my sins?
Speaker 5: A lie told, a.
Speaker 1: Wrong done, a sin committed. Yes, yes, all these things
Speaker 1: can God forgive, But the consequences they can't be Undone.
Speaker 6: Be merciful unto me, O, God be merciful unto me
Speaker 6: my soul trusteth indeed, yea in the shadow of Thys,
Speaker 6: will I make my re few?
Speaker 1: What was that I heard something in you? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: there it is again. Someone's entering the cave. It's it's
Speaker 1: a man, No, two men, three, four or five, and
Speaker 1: they're looking around searches. It's probably from me, David, Uncle David.
Speaker 7: It's me Joy, Uncle David.
Speaker 5: We know you're in here. We've come to join you.
Speaker 5: Uncle David.
Speaker 7: Please answer me.
Speaker 8: With your friends, your relatives, we're here to help you remain.
Speaker 5: Where you are.
Speaker 1: I'll come forward unseen until I can see you and
Speaker 1: make sure you are.
Speaker 9: Joe, Joe, und how are you?
Speaker 1: And how is my father Joy? Is he still alive?
Speaker 8: Grandfather Jesse, Oh, I should say he's still alive very much.
Speaker 8: Grandmother too. They're both here here outside the cave. They
Speaker 8: wanted to be sure you were here.
Speaker 1: Let me see them.
Speaker 10: But come along.
Speaker 11: I'll show you father, so son, it's good to see you.
Speaker 5: Mother.
Speaker 1: You oh, mother, David. You you look tired, weary.
Speaker 12: Are you taking care of yourself as you should?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm all right, mother, I'll admit I look rather I'm
Speaker 1: kempt right now. But how are you and father.
Speaker 12: We're fine except for worrying about you.
Speaker 4: It seems that all Israel has now heard about Saul's
Speaker 4: effort to kill you. Many of the people are outraged
Speaker 4: at his actions. They know that you are in the
Speaker 4: right and are willing to help you.
Speaker 13: That's how we were able to find out where you
Speaker 13: were hiding.
Speaker 1: You Liab, I didn't realize you were here too.
Speaker 13: We're all here, David, all your brethren.
Speaker 4: Hey, sons, There'll be time enough for talking later. Right now,
Speaker 4: we'd better unpack and get settled.
Speaker 1: Settled go inside. Well, Joe Ab, why are you here
Speaker 1: and the others? And why did you bring my father
Speaker 1: and mother away out here in this mountainous, desolate country.
Speaker 10: Well, uncle, David, they I mean, David, my son.
Speaker 1: We are here to join you. We're going to stay
Speaker 1: here with you, but you can't do that. Father. This
Speaker 1: is a hard, rugged life, no life at all for
Speaker 1: elderly people. And listen to me, son.
Speaker 4: Sara was chosen God to be king. Since then, however,
Speaker 4: he has permitted the spirit of Satan to take over.
Speaker 4: No longer is he a good king. No longer does
Speaker 4: he seek to benefit the people only himself.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I know all that followed. But this is
Speaker 1: no place.
Speaker 4: Sun look here, Saul seeks your life. We are your
Speaker 4: father and mother, brother's near kin. The evil spirit that
Speaker 4: motivates King Saul to become so enraged at his failure
Speaker 4: to capture and kill you could very well direct his
Speaker 4: anger against us. We are much safer here with you,
Speaker 4: a fugitive in a lonely cave and outside exposed to
Speaker 4: the insane madness of a jealous king.
Speaker 1: May I say something, of course, Eliab, you're my oldest brother.
Speaker 1: I respect your opinion.
Speaker 13: I hardly know how to begin, but we all know
Speaker 13: that God has chosen you to be the next king
Speaker 13: of Israel, to succeed Saul. Now we want to join
Speaker 13: you here. We want to become part of you and
Speaker 13: your life. I want to what to form a shall
Speaker 13: we say, bodyguard for you?
Speaker 4: Hey, your brother alive is right?
Speaker 1: David, my son others.
Speaker 4: As time go by, we'll join up with you. Many
Speaker 4: people have lost confidence in King Saul. He exacts a
Speaker 4: heavy tribute from them, money, lives, even morals. Your band
Speaker 4: will grow, David. You will have a kingdom of your own,
Speaker 4: small at first, but it will grow until you are
Speaker 4: truly king of all Israel. Be the leader, learn to
Speaker 4: discipline manners as well as a guide and direct them.
Speaker 4: Be their spiritual as well as a military leader.
Speaker 10: God will be with you and show you.
Speaker 1: The way and bress you. Thank you, father and brother Eliab.
Speaker 1: I'm comforted by your coming to dwell with me.
Speaker 7: Soon.
Speaker 4: David's mother and father, brothers, and near of kin were
Speaker 4: inside the cave. Before many days life had so down
Speaker 4: to a routine of wilderness survival.
Speaker 1: David, Yes, Joe Abba.
Speaker 10: There are four men at the end of the cave
Speaker 10: to see you, Sir.
Speaker 1: Four men? Who are they? What do they want?
Speaker 8: They wish to join you, David, join me in what
Speaker 8: become one of your groups. They claim they're persecuted by
Speaker 8: King Saul.
Speaker 1: But how do they know where I am?
Speaker 8: They claim, Sir, that it's general knowledge among the oppressed
Speaker 8: people that you are here.
Speaker 10: It seems that it's a sort of an underground knowledge
Speaker 10: passed from mouth to mouth.
Speaker 1: Eliab. Did you see them?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: So what do you think? I think they speak the truth?
Speaker 14: David?
Speaker 1: Well, very well, Joeb find a place for them to
Speaker 1: sleep and watch them closely for signs of treachery, Sir, Amen, Yes,
Speaker 1: Joe Abbe.
Speaker 10: Six more men are outside, Sir, wanting to join forces
Speaker 10: with us.
Speaker 1: Give them the usual scrutiny, Yes, Sir.
Speaker 4: So it was that David was joined by about four
Speaker 4: hundred men who wished to escape the exactions of King Saul.
Speaker 4: Many had lost confidence in the ruler of Israel, for
Speaker 4: they could see that he was no longer guided by
Speaker 4: the spirit of the Lord. Here David had a little
Speaker 4: kingdom of his own, and in it order and discipline prevailed.
Speaker 1: Men, you have joined forces with me because you're not
Speaker 1: in accord with the Kingdom of Saul. Yet, even here
Speaker 1: we may be pounced upon by his men of war.
Speaker 1: We must be prepared for any eventuality. We don't wish
Speaker 1: to fight a war with King Saul, yet we must
Speaker 1: be prepared. So, starting immediately, we'll have an extensive training program.
Speaker 1: Elia will take the ones of you.
Speaker 5: Dell Lord Mark ready, sure.
Speaker 13: No no no, Draw your string back solidly straight now
Speaker 13: try again, ready, sure.
Speaker 5: No no, no, no, not like that. Hold a shield
Speaker 5: more in front of you, and be quicker with that spear.
Speaker 5: Now again.
Speaker 1: Oh God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, I thank THEE
Speaker 1: for thy love and protection and for the many blessings
Speaker 1: of life. I thank THEE that thou hast given me
Speaker 1: these four hundred strong and valiant men. We stand ready,
Speaker 1: Oh God, to do thy bidding, whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: Order and direct us, and we shall obey. In the
Speaker 1: meantime we stand as thy servants. Good morning, young man.
Speaker 1: They tell me you wish to see me personally? Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: any special reason?
Speaker 15: Yes, sir, Well, sir, I I am Gad.
Speaker 1: I am Gad, one of the true prophets of Israel.
Speaker 10: Yes, David, I have come to join you and to
Speaker 10: be of service.
Speaker 5: To you, if you so wish.
Speaker 1: Welcome to our little band. God has indeed sent you.
Speaker 1: At this my time of need. I and my men
Speaker 1: will be greatly benefited by the presence of a divinely
Speaker 1: inspired see Jehovah.
Speaker 15: God is with you, David, and if you will listen
Speaker 15: to his counsel and seek his guidance, he will give
Speaker 15: you a glorious victory.

Speaker 2: about three thousand years ago, it just seems to come

Speaker 2: And now let's get back to our story. David escapes.
Speaker 4: In the cave of a duelum. David was far from
Speaker 4: feeling secure, for there was continual evidence that King Saul
Speaker 4: had not given up his murderous purpose.
Speaker 1: Father, this is no place for you and mother to live.
Speaker 1: We're not complaining, son, I know you're not, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate your understanding. Spirit but I must find a regular
Speaker 1: home for you and mother.
Speaker 4: Where where it wouldn't be safe anywhere in Israel. Saul
Speaker 4: has no scruples whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Perhaps the King of Moab would give you asylum. Your grandmother,
Speaker 1: Ruth was a moabiitas you know, yes.
Speaker 4: But the nations of Israel and Moab have never been
Speaker 4: on very friendly terms. Why it wasn't very many years
Speaker 4: ago that King Saul made war against them.
Speaker 1: Since we're now fugitives persecuted by Saul, that may be
Speaker 1: another reason why the King of Moab would give you asylum.
Speaker 5: Getting tired murder?
Speaker 12: No, I guess not.
Speaker 4: Eh, these wagons are hard writing if you're at all tired.
Speaker 4: I asked David to stop, for hawaiis who you can rest.
Speaker 12: You know you will leave David alone. He knows what's best.
Speaker 16: Hey, Hey, have feen a frustration?
Speaker 5: Hey, I feel it.
Speaker 10: Maybe you will never again see our needy plan.
Speaker 12: Whatever makes you feel like that?
Speaker 5: Eh?
Speaker 1: Hey, we're old.
Speaker 10: Mother.
Speaker 4: Perhaps you're leaving is will never to return?
Speaker 5: Not sense?
Speaker 10: I never know whoa How are you getting on?
Speaker 5: Mother?
Speaker 9: Just fine?
Speaker 2: Son?
Speaker 1: You father, I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 5: Son.
Speaker 1: The Scouts report a secluded spot a mile or so.
Speaker 5: Ahead.
Speaker 1: We'll stop there for the night.
Speaker 4: It's it's early, it don't stop, especially for us.
Speaker 1: We're traveled far enough for one day.
Speaker 4: Get up, Get up there, good boy, mother.
Speaker 1: Some day he'll be a great man.
Speaker 12: Always known he'd be great. Even as a small boy.
Speaker 7: He had a call.
Speaker 12: He's a greatness. Faithfulness, integrity, truthfulness.
Speaker 1: Oh, he loved to work.
Speaker 10: He was obedient.
Speaker 12: He's always been faithful in the little things, and that
Speaker 12: I think is the most important quality of all.
Speaker 4: Patience and consideration for others is an important quality too.
Speaker 12: Yes, especially for a king. And David will be king,
Speaker 12: a great and long remembered king.
Speaker 4: Slowly the caravan moved across the land of Israel and
Speaker 4: into Moab. Finally David stood before the king.
Speaker 1: Long live the great King of Moabs. Oh you are David,
Speaker 1: Welcome to my call. Thank you, your majesty.
Speaker 16: I assume that you and your band of men wish
Speaker 16: asylum here in my country.
Speaker 1: Your majesty, I and my band of men are able
Speaker 1: to defend ourselves with the help of God. But we
Speaker 1: must move about off and stay in the wilderness. This
Speaker 1: type of life is very difficult for my aging parents.
Speaker 1: The request that I have come here to ask is
Speaker 1: that you let my father and mother stay with you
Speaker 1: till I know what God will.
Speaker 17: Do for Well, that's a rather small request.
Speaker 4: Gladly, David, I'd like to be a party to besting
Speaker 4: King Saul, So you bring your parents in before me.
Speaker 7: They will be as safe as my own parents.
Speaker 1: Now, thank you, your majesty. The great King of Moab
Speaker 1: is very kind.
Speaker 4: Then the prophet God said to David, do.
Speaker 15: Not remain in the stronghold and go into the land
Speaker 15: of Judah.
Speaker 4: So David departed and went into the forest of Herath.
Speaker 4: Now Saul had been preparing to ensnare and capture David
Speaker 4: in the cave of a Dulam.
Speaker 16: Good morning, General Abner, is the army ready to break camp?
Speaker 18: Yes, your majesty, we met a very pleasant day for
Speaker 18: our march.
Speaker 7: Wouldn't you say, h yes, yes, I suppose so.
Speaker 16: Now are you certain that David and his band of
Speaker 16: men are still hiding in.
Speaker 10: The cave of a Dulim.
Speaker 18: Yes, I've had a detail of spies keep close watch
Speaker 18: of his movements.
Speaker 16: And you are sure that our plans to seal off
Speaker 16: the cave and trap David.
Speaker 5: And his men inside will work.
Speaker 16: Ah a well now, do we have enough provisions for
Speaker 16: a siege if necessary?
Speaker 18: Definitely, he won't stand a chance.
Speaker 16: Do our soldiers know where we are going and for
Speaker 16: what purpose?
Speaker 18: No, your majesty, I've kept them uninformed so that you
Speaker 18: personally could outline this campaign.
Speaker 16: All right, then, gather the troops together and I will
Speaker 16: address them now concerning our present mission. You all know
Speaker 16: that David, the son of Jesse has been trying to
Speaker 16: take over my kingdom.
Speaker 5: Now, in the past I have been.
Speaker 16: Good to him, too good, and he has rewarded me
Speaker 16: with deceit and treason. Even now he has formed a
Speaker 16: band of men, a band of outlaws, and he.
Speaker 5: He is trying to stir up the nation against me.
Speaker 16: We must put a stop to this young upstart. Our
Speaker 16: spies have located his present hiding place.
Speaker 5: He and his men are even now just.
Speaker 16: A few miles from here in the cave of a Dulian.
Speaker 16: We must match very quickly in order to take them
Speaker 16: by surprise. When we arrive at the cave, we will
Speaker 16: at once completely surround the area so that no one.
Speaker 5: Will be able to escape.
Speaker 16: Now, the wagon provisions will follow a little behind the main.
Speaker 5: Haner, What is the meaning of this intrusion by this soldier.
Speaker 18: I don't know, your majesty, but I shall see to
Speaker 18: it that he's properly disciplined for his lack of respect.
Speaker 18: Why he's one of our scouts. I sent a spy
Speaker 18: on David.
Speaker 14: Oh, forgive me, your majesty, I didn't notice you were here.
Speaker 1: Long live the King, Long live the King.
Speaker 18: Soldier, what's the meaning of bursting into camp like this?
Speaker 14: I have a message of utmost concerned General General Sir
Speaker 14: David and his men are no longer hiding in the
Speaker 14: cave of adullum Mar.
Speaker 5: When did he leave? How did he get out?
Speaker 1: He must have left some time during the night.
Speaker 18: Didn't you watch him during the night?
Speaker 14: No, well, yes, sir, I mean we watched them put
Speaker 14: out their campfires and retired, just as they do every night.
Speaker 14: We waited until all was quiet, and then we also retired.
Speaker 16: Well.
Speaker 14: This morning, we rose early and again took our positions
Speaker 14: to watch the cave. When we didn't see the usual
Speaker 14: signs of life, we approached near the cave and finally
Speaker 14: went in.
Speaker 1: There was no one there. It was completely deserted.
Speaker 16: Someone is going to pay for this Stadian farmer in
Speaker 16: the camp. One of you conspire with David against me?
Speaker 18: Who would dare do such a thing?
Speaker 7: Your majesty, who now you renge nights?
Speaker 16: Will the son of Jesse give every one of you
Speaker 16: fields and vineyards?
Speaker 5: Will he make.
Speaker 16: You all camanders of thousands and cammanders of hundreds?
Speaker 5: That all of you have conspired against me?
Speaker 16: Then why is it that no one discloses to me
Speaker 16: when my son makes a league with the son of Jesse.
Speaker 5: None of you is sorry for me.
Speaker 16: Or discloses to me that my son has stirred up
Speaker 16: my servant against me?
Speaker 5: To lie in wait as at this day? Who is
Speaker 5: the guilty one?
Speaker 16: Which one of you has be friend to David and
Speaker 16: gives away all court secrets? I I will give rich
Speaker 16: rewards to the one of you who will tell me
Speaker 16: who the guilty one is.
Speaker 5: Just tell me his name.
Speaker 1: That's all you have to do, and not only shall.
Speaker 16: You receive rich rewards, but you will be given a
Speaker 16: position of trust, responsibility.
Speaker 5: And great honor. Who is the traitor?
Speaker 7: I command you to tell me, your majesty, ur, yes,
Speaker 7: who are you? My name is Joeg? What do you
Speaker 7: want I know? Who keeps David informed? Your majesty, doo,
Speaker 7: you do come forward this instant and tell me long
Speaker 7: live the King.
Speaker 1: Who who is the guilty person.
Speaker 7: Your majesty, it is it is the High Priest. At
Speaker 7: no high priest.
Speaker 5: How would you know? Who are you? Anyway? I don't
Speaker 5: recall ever seeing you before. What position do you hold
Speaker 5: in my court?
Speaker 17: Your majesty, I am chief of all the royal herdsmen.
Speaker 17: I happened to have been ink nob at the Tabernacle,
Speaker 17: and I saw David. He was secretly conferring with the Himmelech,
Speaker 17: the High Priest. Ah, the High Priest inquired of the Lord,
Speaker 17: for David gave him bread and a sword, a sword
Speaker 17: taken away from the giant Golion.
Speaker 16: Yes, the High Priest could know all that goes on
Speaker 16: here in my court and my future friends.
Speaker 17: He's the guilty one, your majesty, High Priest, guilty of preason?
Speaker 16: Ah, I have no Yes, your Master send guards to Knab,
Speaker 16: Have them bring back the High Priest and all his
Speaker 16: fellow priests immediately.
Speaker 4: You are Ahimelech, I am, your majesty.
Speaker 16: You are the high Priest in charge of the tabernacle
Speaker 16: and its service. Yes, your Majesty, are you not supposed
Speaker 16: to be an example to the people an example for good.
Speaker 4: Yes, your majesty, Then why why have you turned against
Speaker 4: me conspired with David, the son of Jesse. I conspire
Speaker 4: against you, your majesty. You gave David bread and a sword.
Speaker 4: He was hungry and needed a weapon.
Speaker 19: Worst of all, you, in your capacity as high priest,
Speaker 19: have inquired of God for him, so that he has
Speaker 19: risen against me to lie in wait as at this day.
Speaker 4: Will your majesty, who among all your servants is so
Speaker 4: faithful as David, Ah, who is the King's son, a
Speaker 4: lawn and captain over your bodyguard?
Speaker 5: I despise.
Speaker 4: I knew not that he was but an honored member
Speaker 4: of your household. And would this be the first time
Speaker 4: that I have inquired of God for him?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Surely my king knows that David and many other members
Speaker 4: of the King's house came off unto the tabernacle to
Speaker 4: inquire of God.
Speaker 1: Therefore, let not.
Speaker 4: The King impute anything evil to me, his servant, for
Speaker 4: I have known nothing of this alleged conspiracy of David.
Speaker 16: You shall surely die Himelich, you and all your father's
Speaker 16: house gods gods turn and kill these priests, for their.
Speaker 5: Hand also is with David.
Speaker 1: That was an order.
Speaker 16: These priests knew that David had fled, and they did not.
Speaker 5: Disclose it to me. Kill them? Is there no one
Speaker 5: who will do as I? Hey? I am king, and
Speaker 5: I for.
Speaker 4: A moment, Saul is struck dumb with amazement as he
Speaker 4: glares angrily about at his men, who will not, who
Speaker 4: dare not put their swords to the slaying of the
Speaker 4: innocent priests. Nevertheless, Saul is determined to carry out his
Speaker 4: Satanic command. With piercing eyes, Saul looks into the faces
Speaker 4: of his men standing about him. Suddenly he seizes, men.
Speaker 16: Dog, Yes, your majesty, come up here before me.
Speaker 7: Yes, your majesty.
Speaker 16: I command you take the sword and slay every one
Speaker 16: of these priests.
Speaker 7: Yes, your majesty.
Speaker 4: And Doig turned and fell upon the priests, and he
Speaker 4: killed on that day eighty five persons who wore the
Speaker 4: lininy fod and knobbed the city of the priests. He
Speaker 4: put to the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, oxen, donkeys,
Speaker 4: and sheep. This is what Saul could do under the
Speaker 4: control of Satan. A few years before, when God had
Speaker 4: commanded Saul to kill a wicked idol worshiping Amlekites. He
Speaker 4: thought himself too compassionate to carry out the command. But
Speaker 4: now without a command from God, under the guidance of Satan,
Speaker 4: he could slay the priests of the Lord and bring
Speaker 4: ruin upon the inhabitants of Noab. Such is the perversity
Speaker 4: of the heart that has refused the guidance of God.
Speaker 4: Now one of the sons of a Himelech named Biathar
Speaker 4: escaped and fled after David.
Speaker 1: Did I understand you to say that you are a
Speaker 1: son of a Himelech, the high priest?
Speaker 7: That's right, Sir David.
Speaker 4: I have come to tell you that my father and
Speaker 4: all the priests of Nab have been massacred no no including.
Speaker 10: Their wives and children and all their possessions.
Speaker 1: Who is guilty of this atrocious crime? Dog, Sir Saul's
Speaker 1: chief herdsman doing doing.
Speaker 10: He told Saul.
Speaker 4: That my father had helped you to escape when you
Speaker 4: came to the tabernacle at Knob. Then Saul ordered Dog
Speaker 4: to take their lives.
Speaker 1: Yes, now, I remember I saw him that day. Oh,
Speaker 1: if only I had been truthful with your father, he
Speaker 1: would have known what to do, and their lives would
Speaker 1: have been spared, but I lied, and because of my lie,
Speaker 1: they are dead, all because of one lie.
Speaker 4: And all Israel was filled with horror. What would happen next?
