In 1 Samuel 29, David faces an impossible dilemma. After earning the trust of Achish, king of Gath, he is expected to join the Philistines in battle against Israel. Refuse to fight, and he's exposed as a traitor. Join the battle, and he risks turning against his own people. With every option blocked, God intervenes in an unexpected way. Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore one of the clearest examples of Divine Providence in David’s life, as God uses the suspicions of the Philistine commanders to rescue David from a crisis that could have destroyed his future kingship.
