FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 24:1-25
1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
3 And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
4 And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privily.
5 And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
6 And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the Lord‘s anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.
7 So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
8 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
9 And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the Lord had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the Lord‘s anointed.
11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.
12 The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
15 The Lord therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.
16 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
17 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.
18 And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.
19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the Lord reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day.
20 And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.
21 Swear now therefore unto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father’s house.
22 And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
PRAISE & WORSHIP
David, immediately after he was anointed, received his first assignment in the palace – to play the harp to make Saul feel better. Afterwards, Saul appointed him as captain over a thousand men. Scripture records that David behaved himself wisely (1 Samuel 18:5, 14-15).
Saul began to harbour animosity towards David after he killed Goliath because Saul thought David was out to take over his kingdom. As a result, he began to actively find ways of killing David. Saul tried at least twice to pin David to the wall with the javelin in his hand but David escaped. David informed Jonathan, Saul’s son, of his father’s plans and his need to escape. He eventually ran away from the palace to save his life.
David went into the wilderness and became captain over a band of worthless men. They roamed the bushes because they could not enter the city for fear of Saul. One would have expected David to kill Saul who had made him a fugitive in his land. But that wasn’t the case. Twice, in 1 Samuel 24 and 1 Samuel 26, David, cut of loyalty, refused to kill Saul or allow his men to. He looked beyond the man’s failings and still honoured the oil on his head. Even after Saul and his sons were killed in battle, David did not gloat, he genuinely mourned his master (2 Samuel 1:17-27).
Beloved, I encourage you to learn from David. First, you need to be unshakably loyal to God, then, to His people. It is possible for your pastor or your leader to offend you despite his anointing but please, allow God to be the judge and the Righteous Judge would not fail you. Do not join the group of people who speak ill of or attack men of God. Allow God to be the judge over His church. May the Lord grant you understanding, in Jesus’ name.
