As we have slowly been lead into captivity. There’s another story that I like. Now, I think it would be interesting if we were able to do this and this is my own personal conviction and I would not want to teach it as a thing that comes from the Lord, but I personally feel that a great deal of the psychosis that afflicts people today is due not so much to so called, what shall we say, maladjustment or of psychological difficulties but rather of spiritual difficulties persisted in which have lead to a further hardening and darkening of the mind and the result is ultimately just what we see in Saul. (David takes the blame to himself here) stay with me do not be afraid for he who seeks my life seeks your life for you are safe with me.”, Now, he sees of course, that this is largely due to his own failure, but at the same time it is and illustration of the providence of God and judgment because back in the earlier part of first Samuel we haven’t read in our series of the study of David, God had said that he was going to bring judgment unto Eli’s house and the slaying of the priests here is part of the providential judgment upon the house of Eli. The reason for that is simple, is that no one can possibly follow any ethical and moral principle without new life. May the Lord help us to respond to this beautiful illustration of the present day, it’s time for us to stop, let’s close with a word of prayer. His bloodline will set us free. Jews believe the Messiah will be a direct descendant of King David through Solomon on his father’s side and will be born naturally to a husband and wife (Genesis 49:10, Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5, 33:17; Ezekiel 34:23-24). III. Well, David disguised his sanity before him and he acted insanely in their hands and scribbled on the doors of the gate and let his saliva run down into his beard so that he feigned insanity. 8.2. David was the youngest in his family, which included seven other illustrious and accomplished brothers. And we certainly see this in Saul we see it in Herod the king and also in Herod the Tetrarch. There is no peace saith my God to the wicked. And so Saul the rejected king illustrates for us the present time in that the Lord Jesus the true King is not yet upon his throne. He was rejected by the establishment. And King Saul has become irrational in his reaction against David and his relationship to the Lord God and so the more he persists in his rebellion against the Lord God the worst he gets. Now, the historical situation as we come to 1 Samuel chapter 22 is simply this, remember David has been called to kingship, but nevertheless he is not yet king in Israel, Saul is still king, he has had his wonder conquest of Goliath and demonstrated in that his capacity to rule and reign in Israel, but the remaining chapters after the overthrow of Goliath in chapter 17 describes the conflict that David has had with King Saul. This of course, is the fundamental thing so far as the children of Israel were concerned it was David who had won that victory that determined their freedom and for us today the fundamental thing is the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. King David (c. 1040-970 B.C. King David by Meir Y. Soloveichik January 2017. And like Tamar, Nitzevet would be rewarded for her silence with a child of greatness who would be the forebear of Mashiach. And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord and David said to Abiathar I knew on that day with Doeg the Edomite was there that he would surely tell Saul. I love the story of the old Christian Quaker who often spoke to his friends about the Lord Jesus Christ, but they were not very responsive to what he said, but he tried as best he could to reach them for the Lord but they were all so contented apparently with their material possessions that they were not very responsive and so one day he had a ten acre plot of land and he had a sign put up on this ten acre plot of land and the sign said this: “I will this field to anyone who is really contented.” And it wasn’t long before one of his most prosperous neighbor friends came along and saw the sign.

We read for example in connection with the sufferings of our Lord that they said of him he saved others himself he cannot save. However, later in his life, doubt gripped at Yishai’s heart, gnawing away at the very core of his identity. So David departed and went into the forest of Hareth.”, Now, these men who came to David were men who were out of fellowship with Saul and his kingdom. Questions, Discourses and Parables of Judgment, Matthew 17:10 to Matthew 25:46. King David is one of the most well-known figures in Jewish history. NEED TO INTERNALIZE. 1 Samuel chapter 22: “So David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam and when his brothers and all his father’s household heard of it they went down their to him. In Luke chapter 15 in verse 2 in one of the famous parables that our Lord taught we have the statement made by the enemies of our Lord, “This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them.” One of the most remarkable things about the New Testament to me is the fact that the statements of the enemies of our Lord Jesus Christ almost constitute a kind of fifth gospel, because after all that statement, this man receiveth sinners and eateth with them, while meant as a criticism is taken by itself a beautiful picture of the work of the Lord Jesus in receiving sinners and saving them. Torn and anguished by David’s unwarranted degradation, yet powerless to stop it, Nitzevet stood by the sidelines, in solidarity with him, shunned herself, as she too cried rivers of tears, awaiting the time when justice would be served. The loving kindness of God endures all day long your tongue devises destruction like a sharp razor O worker of deceit you love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking what is right you love all words that devour O deceitful tongue, but God will break you down forever, he will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent and uproot you from the land of the living and the righteous will see and fear and will laugh at him saying, behold the man who would not make God his refuge but trusted in the abundance of his riches and was strong in his evil desire, but as for me I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. You flee to your cave of Adullam in order that you may have fellowship with the King who is ultimately to reign. But you’ve gathered to him, in this world, in which you’re not accepted. And David avoided out of his presence twice. And so David, now, sought by Saul the king, is in a period of time which might be called a period of rejection and in this sense he illustrates the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. It reminds us of our Lord who in his early days was subject unto his parents and then who when he was on the cross made every provision that he could make for Mary, by saying, woman (as he pointed to John the apostle) woman behold thy son, and to John behold thy mother. (I Samuel 8:10-22) God must have felt the sting of rejection. We are seeing that in the preaching of the gospel. [Prayer] Father we are grateful to thee for these lessons that come from holy scripture reminding us of our relationship to us of our greater David, the Lord Jesus Christ. And let me just set forth some of the things that immerge as you think about these things. “Then Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered (now, Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the Tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand and all his servants were standing around him) and Saul said to his servants who stood around him, hear now, O Benjamites will the son of Jessie also give to all of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.”. Some doubters at the time claimed that Boaz’s death verified that his marriage to Ruth the Moabite had indeed been forbidden. He was rejected by the establishment. David in Adullam is a suggestive illustration of Jesus Christ in his present rejection by the age of which we are a part. Incidentally you can read in Psalm fifty-two David’s appraisal of the situation at this time and I think it would be good for us to turn over to Psalm fifty-two because it will give you an ideal of what was going on in David’s mind while all of this was happening so let’s read Psalm fifty-two, it’s not a long Psalm and while your finding it, it’s after Psalm fifty-one you know, let me read the heading of it; it says, “A Maskil of David.” That is a Psalm of instruction, and it says, “When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” And so this is what David was thinking about at this time when the news comes to him of the actions of Doeg and Saul in connection with Ahimelech. But one other thing that is parallel is the fact that David’s followers is described like we should be described look again at the way they are described in verse 2 of chapter 22: “And everyone who was in distress.” You know what that means? The Divine Rites and Rejection of the Priest-King: Melchizedek on the Margins of Early Jewish and Christian Interpretation. The King of the House of David. So that when we persist in our rejection of the things of the Lord God we become more and more hardened to spiritual truth and more and more irrational in our behavior. David himself was guilty of both adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah, her husband. And if you’ve already come to know him, then of course, you need to learn to associate with your King more closely, in order that by association with him you might be trained to be useful to him. And we read that there were four hundred of them and we also read that are described as people who were in distress, people who were in debt and people who were discontented in a moment we will have more to say about that but for the moment we will leave it.
