Summary

With Dr. Ronn Johnson David was informed that the Philistines were attacking the city of Keilah. He asked God if he should go to Keilah and help the people, and God told him to go. David's men were afraid to go to Keilah, but David assured them that God would be with them. David and his men went to Keilah and defeated the Philistines. Saul heard that David was in Keilah, and he set out to capture him. David learned that Saul was coming, and he and his men fled Keilah. David and his men hid in the wilderness, and Saul searched for them. Saul eventually gave up the search and returned to his home in Gibeah. Dr. Johnson also consults with ChatGPT to get its take on theology.

0:26.3	Welcome to the NakedBible Podcast episode 472, for Samuel 23. I'm the layman, Trace
0:33.6	Trick, women. He's a scholar, Dr. Ron Johnson. Hey Ron, how you doing today?
0:38.7	Hey Tray, good. Thank you. Yeah, I'm so glad to have you back on to continue for Samuel. We appreciate
0:45.4	it and thanks again. Glad to be here. I'm glad to keep going down this very interesting book.
0:51.4	Things are hidden in here, not maybe hidden, but different parts of or different ideas
0:56.2	come out of here that I think are very valuable to the larger divine council worldview.
1:00.4	And that's frankly what I'm going to do with chapter 23. So I don't want to keep everybody
1:05.1	waiting. So Ron, why don't we just get into it if you're ready? Sure, I am. Yeah. Well,
1:09.9	chapter 23 continues 15, 23 is a theme of replacing Saul with David. If you recall, God had come to
1:16.9	him and rejected Saul. So the question of why was Saul rejected, I think, should be on our mind
1:24.4	as we continue through in the chapter 23. A lot of narrative there in my title, my subtitle says,
1:30.0	David saves the city of Kila. So that gets your blood going, doesn't it? But let's listen to it.
1:37.2	As again, we're getting to where we're getting rid of Saul. That's kind of the sub topic here
1:42.9	between 15, 23 and the end of the book. By the time we get to 31, God or Saul will die on Mount
1:50.2	Galboa. 1 Chronicles 10, 13 and 14, however, from the theological point of view, summarized the life
1:57.0	of Saul by saying that God killed him because he went to the witch of Endor. So let's look at this
2:03.3	and see if we can ask, well, let's back up the whole idea of a divine council worldview. And this
2:09.0	is something Mike and I talked about, again, as friends for a long time, which dominoes would tip
