- 5:11sure,
- 5:11but
- 5:11one

- 5:12believes
- 5:13that

- 5:14been

- 5:15That
- 5:16David
- 5:16was
- 5:16going
- 5:16to
- 5:16be
- 5:16King.
- 5:17Abigail
- 5:17certainly
- 5:18affirms
- 5:18this
- 5:19as
- 5:19she's
- 5:19not
- 5:19just
- 5:20concerned
- 5:20about
- 5:20protecting
- 5:21her
- 5:21life
- 5:21and
- 5:21her
- 5:22household.
- 5:22She's
- 5:23also
- 5:23concerned
- 5:24that
- 5:24David
- 5:24would
- 5:24go
- 5:25into
- 5:25the
- 5:25kingship
- 5:25with

- 5:28the
- 5:28Lord
- 5:28for
- 5:28keeping
- 5:29him
- 5:29from
- 5:29sin.
- 5:29we've
- 5:30studied
- 5:30the
- 5:30name
- 5:30of
- 5:31God,
- 5:31the
- 5:31Lord,
- 5:31my

- 5:33Humbles
- 5:34you
- 5:34to
- 5:34see
- 5:34how
- 5:34God
- 5:35has
- 5:35kept

- 5:36Maybe
- 5:36not
- 5:36just
- 5:36from
- 5:36sin,
- 5:37but
- 5:37maybe
- 5:37from
- 5:37making
- 5:38it
- 5:38through
- 5:38after
- 5:38sleepless
- 5:39nights

- 5:41all
- 5:41the

- 5:43us.
- 5:43There
- 5:44are
- 5:44a
- 5:44lot
- 5:44of
- 5:44implications
- 5:45we
- 5:45could
- 5:45look

- 5:46for
- 5:46this
- 5:46to
- 5:46teach
- 5:46us
- 5:46about
- 5:47marriage.
- 5:47It's
- 5:47fascinating
- 5:48that
- 5:48Abigail
- 5:49is
- 5:49quite
- 5:49clear
- 5:50about
- 5:50the
- 5:50kind
- 5:50of
- 5:50man
- 5:50her
- 5:50husband
- 5:51is.
- 5:51But
- 5:51scripture
- 5:52agrees
- 5:52with
- 5:52her
- 5:52and
- 5:52she
- 5:53actually
- 5:53moves
- 5:53to
- 5:53protect
- 5:54his
- 5:54life.
- 5:54God
- 5:55ends
- 5:55up
- 5:55striking
- 5:55him
- 5:55dead,
- 5:56but
- 5:56it's
- 5:56not
- 5:56because
- 5:57of
- 5:57anything
- 5:57Abigail
- 5:57does.
- 5:58she
- 5:58was

- 5:59her
- 5:59husband
- 6:00in
- 6:00all
- 6:00this.
- 6:01Neal
- 6:01was
- 6:01having
- 6:01the
- 6:01Feast
- 6:02of
- 6:02a
- 6:02King.
- 6:02He

- 6:03plenty
- 6:03to
- 6:03share
- 6:04and
- 6:04he
- 6:04still

- 6:06Hospitality
- 6:06matters
- 6:07to
- 6:07God.
- 6:07And
- 6:08Abigail
- 6:08moved
- 6:08quickly
- 6:09in
- 6:09wisdom
- 6:09and
- 6:09wasn't
- 6:10her
- 6:10humility
- 6:10astounding.
- 6:11She
- 6:11didn't
- 6:12cause
- 6:12the
- 6:12problem,
- 6:12but
- 6:13she
- 6:13was
- 6:13quick
- 6:14to
- 6:14make
- 6:14restitution
- 6:15and
- 6:15she
- 6:15gets
- 6:15a

- 6:20have
- 6:21to
- 6:21run
- 6:21for
- 6:21their
- 6:21lives
- 6:21for
- 6:21a
- 6:21time,
- 6:22and
- 6:22it's
- 6:22not
- 6:23a
- 6:23complete
- 6:23Cinderella
- 6:23story
- 6:24because
- 6:24she
- 6:24doesn't
- 6:25get
- 6:25to
- 6:25be
- 6:25David's
- 6:25only
- 6:26wife.
- 6:26In
- 6:26the
- 6:26next
- 6:27chapter,
- 6:27David
- 6:27and
- 6:28his
- 6:28nephew
- 6:28Abbasi.
- 6:29Sneak
- 6:29into
- 6:29Saul's
- 6:29camp
- 6:30by
- 6:30night.
- 6:30Saul
- 6:31is
- 6:31once
- 6:31again
- 6:31on
- 6:32the
- 6:32move
- 6:32to
- 6:32kill
- 6:32David,
- 6:33but
- 6:33God
- 6:33puts
- 6:33him
- 6:34and
- 6:34his
- 6:34men
- 6:34in
- 6:34a
- 6:35deep
- 6:35sleep.
- 6:35David
- 6:36sneaks
- 6:36in
- 6:36and
- 6:36steals
- 6:37Saul's
- 6:38water
- 6:38jug
- 6:38and
- 6:38his
- 6:38spear.
- 6:39Even
- 6:39though
- 6:39Abishai
- 6:40was
- 6:40more
- 6:41than
- 6:41happy
- 6:41to
- 6:41put
- 6:41Saul
- 6:41to
- 6:42death,
- 6:42David
- 6:42once
- 6:42again
- 6:43says
- 6:43he
- 6:43will
- 6:43not
- 6:43put
- 6:44out
- 6:44his
- 6:44hand
- 6:44against
- 6:44the
- 6:45Lord's
- 6:45anointed
- 6:45six
- 6:46times.
- 6:46In
- 6:46his
- 6:46chapter,
- 6:47it
- 6:47talks
- 6:47about
- 6:47Saul
- 6:48Spear.
- 6:48Why
- 6:48is
- 6:49that
- 6:49so
- 6:49important?
- 6:49Because
- 6:50it's
- 6:50probably
- 6:51the
- 6:51same
- 6:51spear.
- 6:51Saul
- 6:52hurled
- 6:52across
- 6:52the
- 6:52room
- 6:53at
- 6:53David
- 6:53multiple
- 6:53times
- 6:54when
- 6:54trying
- 6:54to
- 6:54kill
- 6:54him.
- 6:55when
- 6:55they're
- 6:55awake,
- 6:56David
- 6:56I
- 6:56shows
- 6:56the
- 6:57spear
- 6:57as
- 6:57evidence
- 6:58that
- 6:58Saul
- 6:59is
- 6:59wrong.
- 6:59To
- 6:59think
- 6:59that
- 7:00David
- 7:00is
- 7:00a
- 7:00danger
- 7:01to
- 7:01him,
- 7:01if
- 7:01it
- 7:01were
- 7:01me.
- 7:02I'd
- 7:02probably
- 7:03say
- 7:03some
- 7:03snide
- 7:03comment
- 7:04like,
- 7:04Hey,
- 7:04look
- 7:05at
- 7:05this.
- 7:05Remember
- 7:05when
- 7:05he
- 7:05tried
- 7:06to
- 7:06kill
- 7:06me
- 7:06with
- 7:06it?
- 7:07But
- 7:07David
- 7:07takes
- 7:07the
- 7:07high
- 7:07road
- 7:08and
- 7:08says,
- 7:08you
- 7:09chasing
- 7:09after
- 7:09me
- 7:10is
- 7:10as
- 7:10worthless
- 7:11as
- 7:11a
- 7:11king
- 7:11chasing
- 7:12a
- 7:12flea
- 7:12and
- 7:12as
- 7:13hopeless
- 7:13as
- 7:13chasing
- 7:14a
- 7:14cartridge
- 7:14in
- 7:14the
- 7:14mountains.
- 7:15It's
- 7:15not
- 7:16worthy
- 7:16of
- 7:16a
- 7:16king,
- 7:17it
- 7:17seems
- 7:18saltless
- 7:18convicted.
- 7:19And
- 7:19that
- 7:19he
- 7:19realizes
- 7:20he's
- 7:20been
- 7:20in
- 7:20the
- 7:20wrong,
- 7:21and
- 7:21this
- 7:21will
- 7:21be
- 7:21the
- 7:21last
- 7:22time
- 7:22that
- 7:22Saul
- 7:23and
- 7:23David
- 7:23speak,
- 7:24David
- 7:24even
- 7:24gives
- 7:25the
- 7:25spear
- 7:25back.
- 7:26What
- 7:26a
- 7:26display
- 7:27of
- 7:27abundant
- 7:27trust
- 7:28in
- 7:28God
- 7:28to
- 7:28protect
- 7:29him.
- 7:29And
- 7:29Chapter
- 7:3027,
- 7:30David
- 7:31hides
- 7:31among
- 7:31the
- 7:31Philistines
- 7:32because
- 7:32he
- 7:33still
- 7:33has
- 7:33some
- 7:33fear.
- 7:34all
- 7:34in
- 7:34all.
- 7:34He'll
- 7:34be
- 7:34on
- 7:35the
- 7:35run
- 7:35for
- 7:35about
- 7:35a
- 7:35decade.
- 7:36He's
- 7:36seen
- 7:36Saul's
- 7:37ups
- 7:37and
- 7:37downs.
- 7:38It
- 7:38appears
- 7:38to
- 7:38be
- 7:38pretty
- 7:38discerning
- 7:39to
- 7:39be
- 7:39on
- 7:39the
- 7:39lookout.
- 7:40And
- 7:40then
- 7:40Aish,
- 7:41the
- 7:41head
- 7:41of
- 7:41the
- 7:41Philistines,
- 7:42gets
- 7:42his
- 7:42men
- 7:43ready
- 7:43to
- 7:43fight
- 7:43against
- 7:43Israel.
- 7:44And
- 7:44Aish
- 7:45lets
- 7:45David
- 7:45know,
- 7:46Hey,
- 7:46you're
- 7:46aware
- 7:47that
- 7:47you
- 7:47and
- 7:47your
