I Samuel Chapter 27

THE PROPHETS

I SAMUEL

SHMUEL I

The Books of I and II Samuel, also known as the Books of Samuel (originally one book), recount the life and times of the prophet Samuel, the establishment of the Israelite monarchy, and the reigns of the first two kings of Israel, Saul and David. They provide insights into the political, religious, and social aspects of ancient Israel during that period. Samuel (Shmuel in Hebrew) anointed both Saul and David as kings of Israel with the approval of G-d and at His command.

Samuel is the greatest of all the judges, and a prophet who was of the same stature of Moses and Aaron.

The most coverage of this book in its context is centered in the life of David. Known as man of faith, unselfish leader, great warrior, loyal friend, compassionate in victory, humble in defeat, and model of repentance.

Samuel Chapter 27 Give the Account of David in the Service of Achish to Escape from Saul

A Lesson Learned

David stayed away from Saul, despite Saul’s words of being remorseful of his errors. Since, he never fulfilled his word.

*Wisdom is one attribute that G-d blesses those who seek Him.

Rejecting G-d’s truth will bring you the opposite of G-d’s blessings eventually.

“David in Philistia — the Land of the Philistines”

David said to himself, “Now, I may well perish one day at the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistine; then Saul will despair of searching for me again anywhere in the borders of Israel, and I will have escaped from his hand.”
27:1
It was told to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
:4
The number of days that David dwelled in the Philistine countryside was four months and two days.
:7
David would smite the land, and would not leave a man or woman alive; he would take sheep and cattle and donkeys and camels and clothing, and would return and come to Achish.
:9
And Achish believed David, thinking, “He has really come to abhor his people Israel, and he will be my servant always.”
:13

1 And David said to himself, “Now, I shall perish one day in the hand of Saul; there is nothing better for me than that I shall escape to the land of the Philistines, and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the border of Israel, and I shall escape from his hand. “
2 And David arose. And he and the six hundred men who were with him, crossed over to Achish the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
3 And David dwelt with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each man and his household, David and his two wives; Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the wife of Nabal, the Carmelitess.
4 And it was told to Saul that David had fled to Gath, and he did not continue to search for him.
5 And David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the country towns, and I shall dwell there, for why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
6 And Achish gave him Ziklag on that day; therefore, Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until this day.
7 And the number of days which David dwelt in the field of the Philistines was (some) days and four months.
8 And David and his men would go up and raid the Geshurites and the Gizrites and the Amalekites, for those (tribes) were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as you go to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
9 And David would smite (the inhabitants of) the land, and leave neither man nor woman alive; and he would take sheep and cattle, and donkeys and camels and clothing, and return and come to Achish.
10 And Achish would say, “Where did you raid today?” And David would say, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites and against the south of the Kenites.”
11 And David would leave alive neither man nor woman to bring to Gath, saying, “Lest they tell about us, saying, ‘So has David done, and so is his manner all the days which he has dwelt in the field of the Philistines.’ “
12 And Achish believed David, saying, “He has greatly abhorred his people Israel, and he will be to me a bondsman forever.”

Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
