Hey, you're listening to A Year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

We're going to hop right into scripture today.

We are in 1st Samuel 22 through 24.

David has been on the run from Saul for a while.

Does that continue throughout these chapters, CJ?

Yes, it does.

So David just received some help from a priest named Ahimelech, and he's now on the run again.

And Saul is still sort of nursing his jealousy and envy. And he realizes that this guy named Doeg the Edomite.

You can say that like five times fast, I guess. No, I can't. He's the one who ended up spying on David and seeing that he ate some of the consecrated bread and that Ahimelech was

helping him. Okay. So he goes to Saul and he says, hey, I saw, you know, so-and-so helping you

know who. And Saul demands that Ahimelech and his family, the priests, die because they were helping

David. So Saul's men are saying, I'm not going to reach out my hand against the Lord's

anointed, right? Going back to Hannah's song, the priests are also the Lord's anointed.

And Doag says, I'll do it, being an opportunist that he is.

So he ends up killing the priests, but one escapes, okay? And his name is Abyathar. And he'll come

into play later on in Samuel. So just Abyathar is a guy that's going to be important later on in

Samuel. All right. Got a pin stuck in Abyathar. What happens next?

Okay.

So in 1st Samuel 23, David is still fleeing.

He's running around.

He goes to all these different cities.

Saul will hear that he's there, and he has to run again.
