Read 1 Samuel 21 – David is a quick thinker. David goes to the priest, Ahimelech, for food and weapons. He is offered the priests bread… Jesus will refer to this when defending his apostles for eating grain on the sabbath by saying: THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH (Mark 2:27). Human needs rise above legalism. The priest has one weapon to offer, it is the very sword of Goliath. David moves on to a Philistine community, ruled by King Achish, whose officers recognize David and know he is the king of the land (21:11). David tricks them into thinking him insane (21:13) as a means to escape. Sometimes it’s hard to know where to turn for help, and when you realize you’re in bad company, it’s time to use every trick in the book. 🥖🗡😛🙏🏻😜🗡🥖
