The title of the Psalm tells us that it was written by David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "Is not David hiding among us?" This is a reference to events that take place in 1 Samuel 23. The immediate background for Psalm 54 had David inside the walled city of Keilah, which he liberated from the attacking Philistines. Though they benefited f…

Esta es una referencia a los eventos que tienen lugar en 1 Samuel 23. El trasfondo inmediato del Salmo 54 tenía a David dentro de la ciudad amurallada de Keilah, que liberó de los atacantes filisteos. Aunque…

"Post tenebras lux" is a Latin phrase that translates, "after darkness, light," meaning that even after a period of darkness, there will eventually be light. The phrase became a motto for the Protestant Reformation, symbolizing returning to the "light" of biblical truth after a period of religious darkness. Much of the book of 1 Samuel volleys betw…

The author of 1 Samuel breaks off the narrative about David to tell us something of greater importance. He does this to place David's predicament right beside Saul's dilemma to show us that as difficult as David's situation was, Saul's was far worse. King Saul was abandoned by God. In verse 15, Saul utters what are among the most miserable words in…

In 2 Corinthians 7:10, the apostle writes: For godly sorrow produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world brings about death. Evaluating the veracity of repentance can be difficult, but most everyone would agree that a distinction must be made between the person who is truly repentant and the one who only r…

Chapter 25 is enveloped by two significant events. In the chapter's first verse, the death of the prophet Samuel marks the end of an era. In the chapter's last verse, the only remaining link between David and Saul, Michal, Saul's daughter and David's wife, is taken away from David as Saul marries her to another man. These two incidents extinguish a…

More has been written about the first ten verses of chapter 20 of the book of Revelation than any other text in the book. To be sure, as with any Bible passage, these verses are significant; however, they should not be elevated above the essential repeated themes emphasized in the book – namely, the return of Christ, the final judgment of all wicke…

David and Saul are engaged in a life and death version of a "cat and mouse game," a metaphorical expression describing circumstances where one is constantly trying to evade or outmaneuver another. In verse 14 we have what could be the title of the entire section - Saul sought [David] every day, but God did not give him into his hand. Whatever Saul …

The title of Psalm 52 tells us that it was written by David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, 'David has come to the house of Ahimelech.' This is a reference to 1 Samuel 22:6-23, where Saul slaughtered the Israelite priests at Nob by the hand of Doeg the Edomite. This ugly and tragic event prompted David to pen the Psalm. In Psalm 52 Dav…

The title of the 56th Psalm was written by David, "when the Philistines seized him in Gath," a reference to David's flight from Gath (1 Samuel 21:10-15), when he hastily sought refuge in enemy territory while running away from King Saul. Fearing Gath's king Achish, David feigned insanity to escape. Desperation and suffering became the impetus for D…

The words of chapter 21 verse 10 – and David rose and fled that day from Saul – summarize the action of the next few chapters of the narrative. The "cat and mouse" story of King Saul's wild pursuit of God's choice for king occupies the narrative until the final chapter which relates the death of Saul.Chapter 21 reports David's safe passage from Nob…

In the relationship described between David and Jonathan in 1 Samuel chapters 19-20, we discover some essential aspects found in Biblical friendships. The friendship between these two kindred spirits is not based on sentimentality, but on a covenant relationship. Covenant language is utilized throughout the chapter, for example: faithful, devoted l…
