1 Samuel 20 - 21 | Psalms 34 & 56

A breach has now occurred between David and Saul, which will not be mended. Saul seeks to kill David, and he flees from him after getting confirmation from Jonathan.

David is still a young man at this time, but he is already famous in Israel, and is well known among Israel’s enemies. David goes to the Philistines, but has to feign madness in order to keep from being discovered.

David is writing these wonderful psalms even while on the run from Saul, and when he is still young. David is a man after God’s own heart, and that is reflected in what he writes, and how he will trust God, even though there are many on all sides who seek to kill him.
