1 Samuel 28
Philistines were fighting against Israelites. Saul was fearful and He sorted the Lord but God didn’t answer him. Saul then sorted a medium to call out the spirit of Samuel. The word that was given to Saul wasn’t at all encouraging and said that Israel will be given to the Philistine because Saul disobeyed the Lord.
1 Samuel 29
The Philistine was ready for battle and David was on the Philistine side as he was staying with Achish. But the Philistine commanders did not allow David to go to war with them and David was sent back. David found no fault in the eye of Achish.
1 Samuel 30
When David returned back to Ziklag, he found that everything was destroyed by the Amalekites. The Amalakites took away all the families and flocks belonging to David and his men. Everyone was bitter in spirit but David found strength in the Lord (v6). So David inquired of the Lord and the Lord assured him that he will succeed. So David gathered his 600 men but only 400 men when for war with him. The rest of the 200 rested. Along the way they met an Egyptian who fed them and also show them the way to the Amalakites camp. David and his men attack and he recovered back everything (v18). Nothing was missing (v19).
On the way back, the men who went for war with David refused to share what they brought back with the 200 men that did not go for war. But David do not agreed with them and told them to share with one another.
That’s really what we call love =). So we must learn to share and care.
1 Samuel 31
The Philistines fought against Israel and Israel lost the battle. Saul was critically wounded then he took his own life together with his armor-bearer too. So everyone died.
