Commuter Bible

1 Samuel 23-25, Proverbs 30:1-17

Episode Summary

In a paranoid rage, Saul has slaughtered a city of priests and their families. One man has escaped from that raid and joined David’s ranks; his name is Abiathar and he has come with a priestly ephod in hand. At every turn, it seems that Saul is hot on David’s tail until at long last he unwittingly happens upon the cave where David is hiding. However, he doesn’t realize they are there, and when goes in to relieve himself, David takes advantage of the opportunity, but not in the way that you might expect from someone who is being hunted by the ruler of a kingdom.
