David Finds Refuge in the Cave of Adullam and Saul Sleighs the Priests

Questions to consider:

1. What does this passage teach you about God?
2. What does this teach you about humanity and the world?
3. While David was hiding in the cave of Adullam, God unexpectedly provided 400 men to form an army. When was a time you were surprised by God’s provision? Why were you surprised?
4. Because David lied to the priest, Ahimelech, in chapter 21, Ahimelech was put in a vulnerable place later when Saul confronted him. What were the consequences of David’s lie? What did Saul do to Ahimelech, the other priests, and their family members?

Let’s Pray:

Father, I confess that I do not always have the best intentions of others in mind when I act out in sin. I pray for forgiveness for my actions that are harmful to other people. I ask that you would help me become more thoughtful and purer in actions and words.
