LOD14 David in Ziglag-Compromise and Recovery
INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PRAYER UNIVERSITY – MIKE BICKLE STUDIES IN THE LIFE OF DAVID (FALL 2015) Session 14 Ziklag: Compromise & Recovery (1 Sam. 27-30; Ps. 18) I. INTRODUCTION A. After the miracle in 1 Samuel 26, David was overcome with despair and left the territory of Israel (27:1). He lost hold of the clear, prophetic insight that he had about the Lord removing Saul (26:10). In this season of his life, David embraced compromise based in fear, though he had been delivered 12 times before this (18:11, 27; 19:6, 18; 20:1; 22:1; 23:12-14; 23:28; 24:11; 25:33; 26:12). 1And David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines [Gath and Ziklag].” (1 Sam. 27:1) 9David said to Abishai, “…for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless? 10…the LORD shall strike him…he shall go out to battle and perish.” (1 Sam. 26:9-10) B. There were times when his circumstances contradicted God’s promises over his life that everything seemed lost to David. The Lord was testing his faith and calling him to realign his thinking and refine his character. He learned lessons in these times that he would not have learned otherwise. C. Our battle is a fight for faith or for believing God’s Word in the face of our fears. To trust God in times of blessing and victory is one thing, but to trust Him when things look negative is another. -

'David's Women': a Critical Comparison of Michal, Bathsheba and Tamar In
UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM ‘DAVID’S WOMEN’ A CRITICAL COMPARISON OF MICHAL, BATHSHEBA AND TAMAR IN 1 SAMUEL AND 2 SAMUEL. By Julia Michelle Hogan A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Research in Theology and Religion.

Abstract In this thesis I shall look at the narratives of three women in 1 and 2 Samuel: Michal, Bathsheba and Tamar. I will argue how these women each endure incredible experiences of suffering that are brought about primarily through the actions of both King David and the narrator. These women suffer at the hands of the narrator due to the narratives neglect in recording their experiences in any detail in the text. Instead, it will be my argument that these women are simply used as a means of continuing and explaining the events that happen in the plot of 1 and 2 Samuel and the ‘David story’. It will be my aim then to attempt to bring these women’s experiences to the forefront of the text and uncover their lost voices. -

The Role of the Philistines in the Hebrew Bible*
Teresianum 48 (1997/1) 373-385 THE ROLE OF THE PHILISTINES IN THE HEBREW BIBLE* GEORGE J. GATGOUNIS II Although hope for discovery is high among some archeolo- gists,1 Philistine sources for their history, law, and politics are not yet extant.2 Currently, the fullest single source for study of the Philistines is the Hebrew Bible.3 The composition, transmis sion, and historical point of view of the biblical record, however, are outside the parameters of this study. The focus of this study is not how or why the Hebrews chronicled the Philistines the way they did, but what they wrote about the Philistines. This study is a capsule of the biblical record. Historical and archeo logical allusions are, however, interspersed to inform the bibli cal record. According to the Hebrew Bible, the Philistines mi * Table of Abbreviations: Ancient Near Eastern Text: ANET; Biblical Archeologist: BA; Biblical Ar- cheologist Review: BAR; Cambridge Ancient History: CAH; Eretz-Israel: E-I; Encyclopedia Britannica: EB; Journal of Egyptian Archeology: JEA; Journal of Near Eastern Studies: JNES; Journal of the Study of the Old Testament: JSOT; Palestine Exploration Fund Quarterly Statement: PEFQSt; Vetus Testamentum: VT; Westminster Theological Journal: WTS. 1 Cf. Law rence S tager, “When the Canaanites and Philistines Ruled Ashkelon,” BAR (Mar.-April 1991),17:36. Stager is hopeful: When we do discover Philistine texts at Ashkelon or elsewhere in Philistia... those texts will be in Mycenaean Greek (that is, in Linear B or same related script). At that moment, we will be able to recover another lost civilization for world history. -

1 Samuel Devotionals
1 Samuel 1 As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk. 1 Sam 1:13 As I read this today, I tried to think back to those people that I wanted to have praying for me. There are some people who say "I'll pray for you", but there are those that you know will do it. I remember going to a See You At The Pole event while I was in college at Mizzou. We were standing on the steps, and some adults had shown up to support us and pray with and for us. In my group was a man from my church named Robert. As people went around the circle and prayed, Robert would utter quietly "Yes Lord", "Make it so Lord", and other statements to this effect. At first it bothered me, but then I realized what I am normally doing when I'm in a large group to pray. I pray, and then I sometimes listen to the other people, but more often I just start thinking of unrelated things and my mind would wander. Robert's method was odd to me at first, until I realized that he wanted to really be in prayer with every person as the prayers went around the circle. When I pray in a large group now, I listen to the person so I can pray with them and for them. In this passage, Eli the priest has never truly seen, experienced or uttered fervent prayer. -
The Story of David
Supplement to the program THE STORY OF DAVID Prepared by Eric Lund For a free catalog of our videos contact: Vision Video P. O. Box 540 Worcester, PA 19490 610-584-3500 1-800-523-0226 Fax: 610-584-6643 E-Mail: [email protected] Web: www.visionvideo.com 2 From Dr. Ken Curtis President Gateway Films/Vision Video I love to read the Bible stories about David and have drawn instruction and inspiration from his life for years. Thus, it is with special pleasure we offer you Columbia Pictures television series The Story of David. We have prepared this supplement to help you get the most out of this production. David is one of the central characters in all of scripture. What greater could be said than “He was a man after God’s own heart” (I Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22)? The Bible gives us more details and stories about David’s life than anyone else in all of scripture except Jesus. Consider that the very first thing we are told in the New Testament about Jesus is that he is the “Son of David.” (Matthew 1:1, see also 1:17, 9:27, 15:21). David’s life is a wonderful source for study, discussion and reflection. We believe this film can help bring David’s story alive to enrich your individual or group study. Unfortunately, a film can only cover so much and must be selective in what is included and omitted. For example, I deeply regret that my favorite incident in David’s life is left out entirely. -
David and Achish: the Minority Report (Part I)
David and Achish: the minority report (Part I) David’s escape to Philistia in I Samuel 27 & 29 is one of the more perplexing episodes in David’s life. We can certainly understand his desperation as Saul continues to pursue David despite his having spared Saul’s life twice. But surely, we think, David had no cause to flee to Philistia, or worse, to serve these sworn enemies of Israel, going so far as to line up in the Philistine order of battle on the way to attack Israel (I Samuel 28:1-2; 29:1-2). Indeed, the majority report is that these sixteen months in Philistia mark a grave backsliding on the part of David, a low point in his walk of faith. The general idea is that David is a flawed hero, and the Bible honestly reports his failures as well as his triumphs. This then is considered one of his great failures. The fact that the Bible honestly records the sins of its greatest heroes is certainly true. The question is whether the episode in Chapters 27 & 29 constitutes one of these failures. In the contemporary Reformed world at least, it appears to be beyond question. Take, for example, this list of sermon titles on I Samuel 27 found on mongergism.org (some preached by heroes of mine): ~ Crossing the Line ~ Backsliding again! ~ The eclipse of faith ~ David's Lapse into Unbelief ~ The Frailty of the Man ~ Faltering Faith & a Flight to Philistia ~ Lying Your Way Out of Trouble If this majority report is correct, then the lessons for us are obvious: namely, don’t backslide. -
