1 SamuelSteve Gregg
In this segment, Steve Gregg discusses the events of 1 Samuel 21-22. David seeks refuge with the priest Hymnelek in Nob, where he pretends to be on a secret mission for King Saul. He then flees to the Cave of Adullam, where he is joined by a group of followers. Saul, who sees David as a threat, orders the death of Hymnelek and his family, except for one surviving son. Despite the danger and uncertainty he faces, David maintains his faith in God and praises Him even in his times of distress.
