Today is the 17th day of May. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I'm Brian. It is wonderful to be here with you today.

Great to be here as we draw near to the end of another week, but it doesn't really

matter.

We're on a journey that's day by day and step by step.

Right now in the Old Testament we are working through the book of First Samuel

and we are intertwined with David and King Saul.

David is a national hero, and he is an upstanding person, and he's doing everything he's instructed to do.

The king just wants him to be dead because he is showing

superiority like he has the heart of the people and the king who is very very insecure

he has a real problem and so he wants David to die and he's trying to figure out how that can

happen without it being murder and so much.

Continue the journey. First Samuel, chapters 20 and 21 today.

David fled from Neyat and Rama.

He came to Jonathan and asked,

What have I done? Am I guilty of something? What is my sin against your father that makes him seek my life?

Jonathan said to him a curse on me if that happens.

You will not die.

Look, my father does nothing whether important or unimportant without telling me about it?

Why would my father hide this from me?

It is not so."

But David took an oath and said,

Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes.
