1 Samuel 29-30
Observation
What does it say?
- What contrast do we see in these texts?
- Why is David not allowed to go to battle?
- What did Achish and David thought of that decision?
- What did David see when we returned to Ziklag? How did David respond?
- How did David's mercy to the Egyptian servant paid off?
- What did David do with the spoils he won?
INTERPRETATION
What does it mean?
- Why is David loyal to Achish even though he is supposed to destroy them as Israel's king? From the previous chapters:
a) Contrast between David & Saul's approach to the Lord
b) how is an ephod used throughout 1 Samuel?
2. Do you think the men at 30:22 are fair with what they want to do with the spoils?
3. What does David's decision with the spoils show about his character?
4. How do we see Christ's mercy and grace in the chapter?
APPLICATION
How should it change us?
- What ways do we not share what God has given to us with the church?
- What situations do we think we deserve something even though we know it is sinful/harmful for us?
- How do we remain faithful in those situations?
- Sing Whatever my God ordains is right
