1 Samuel 25:1-44 | Cody Cannon | Running for his life, David could hardly have imagined this would be his reality when Samuel anointed him to be the next king of Israel. Yet, this “man after God’s own heart” seems unchanged by his present circumstances, humbly keeping God’s command not to kill Saul, even when the opportunity to do so is literally at his fingertips. However, in this text, David’s humanity rears its ugly head as he reaches a tipping point that nearly destroys his reputation on this life-or-death journey to the throne. The text opens with the sad news of Samuel’s death (an important detail for a later story); and with that, the era of the judges has officially concluded.
