David’s Hard Times
1 Samuel 18:5 Whatever Saul sent him to do, David did it so successfully that Saul gave him a high rank in the army. This pleased all the people, and Saul's officers as well.
- How did David’s success affect other people’s attitudes toward him?
- What caused Saul to begin to be jealous of David?
- Why did the people love David? Why didn’t Saul love him?
- Saul was the king and Jonathan was his son. Why didn’t Jonathan share his father’s desire to kill David?
- Why did David flee to Achish? Why did he act like he was insane?
- What kind of people joined David when he was hiding in the cave?
- What does it mean to find strength in God? Are you able to find strength during difficult times?
- Saul was a bad king who had tried repeatedly to kill David. Why did David not take this opportunity to kill Saul? For whom was David showing respect?
- Why did David want to convince Saul that he did not want to harm Saul?
- Would you expect that this event would end Saul’s attempts to kill David?
7 So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him. 8 Abishai said to David, "Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of my spear; I won't strike him twice." 9 But David said to Abishai, "Don't destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the LORD's anointed and be guiltless?
- This was the second opportunity David had to easily kill Saul. After the first time, Saul admitted he was wrong, but later tried again to kill David. David couldn’t expect that Saul would sincerely repent of trying to harm him. Why did he pass up this second opportunity to kill Saul?
12 So David took the spear and water jug near Saul's head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the LORD had put them into a deep sleep. 13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them. 14 He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, "Aren't you going to answer me, Abner?" Abner replied, "Who are you who calls to the king?" 15 David said, "You're a man, aren't you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn't you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king.
- Why did David take the spear and water jug?
21 Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have erred greatly."
- If you were David, would you believe that Saul was sincere? Would you forgive him and trust him?
30: 1 David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it, 2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way. 3 When David and his men came to Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. 4 So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep. 5 David's two wives had been captured—Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. 6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.
- David and his men had their wives and children captured. The town they were living in had been burned down. David’ men were talking about stoning him. Saul still wanted to kill him. This may have been the lowest point in David’s life. How did he respond? How do you find strength in God?
