This podcast is a recording from a weekly women’s Bible study in Brandon, MS. This week, we wrapped up 1 Samuel with a discussion of chapters 29-31, which covers David’s exit from Achish’s troops and Saul’s tragic demise. Though the picture painted at the end of 1 Samuel is grim, we have hope. Not because David is on the scene, but because God is on the move. He steps into the middle of the mess to clear the path for Israel’s true king to take the throne and reign forever.

Throughout, the Lord faithfully and consistently protects and provides for his anointed king (and thus also for his people), while he brings the rebellious to ruin.
