The servants of the king would not lift their hands to strike the priests of the LORD. Such a beautiful picture of Christ as Paul wrote, speaking of those who find refuge in Christ: The Lord appears to be giving David cause for encouragement, yet He’s doing it in such an odd way, It seems a perfect plan for encouraging a future king yet without giving opportunity for his pride to get in the way, Remember that Saul’s downward spiral was propelled by self-importance and pride, But the Lord won’t give David any room to make that same mistake, And his subjects are deadbeats and malcontents, Not much opportunity for pride under these circumstances, Ironically, though, it’s this odd group that becomes the nucleus of support that eventually leads to his crowning as king, God will turn this mustard seed of support for David into a kingdom, But there’s years of time still to pass and a battle that must be fought, Their enemy will seem quite strong for a time, But his defeat is assured from the beginning, I’m sure you can draw your own parallel between David and Christ, Now that David has his modest army, he decides to leave the caves and be on the move again, for if these men could find him, so could Saul, Since there was no safe place in Israel for an enemy of Saul, it makes sense that David would escort his family out of the country, The Moabites might have still had some affinity for his family in light of that connection, David’s great grandmother was a Moabite (Ruth), And the country of Moab is also the sensible place to take them, David might have also sought refuge in Moab, but notice he has no interest in joining his parents there, He says he is is seeking to understand what the Lord will do with him, In other words, David seems to understand that the Lord is working in these circumstances and David must submit to it, For as long as David remained in Mitzpah, the stronghold, his parents were with him, But eventually, the prophet Gad comes to David and encourages him to return, Gad was a contemporary prophet with Samuel, But we have no Bible book by this prophet, We know of him because Samuel writes of him, He appears periodically during the life of David in support of his reign, So already we see the Lord raising up a support structure for David, but it’s the kind of structure that leaves no room for boasting, Meanwhile, the man who has no trouble boasting is raving over David’s escape, Samuel moves back and forth between the story of David and the story of Saul to drive home the contrast, As David is humbly submitting to the Lord’s will, enduring deprivation and taking shelter with Israel’s enemies, Saul is doing the opposite, Under a tree, resting with his attendants surrounding him, But rather than being at peace with his situation, he’s frantic, Saul hears David has followers in the desert now, and he begins to mock David and the song that enraged him so much, Unlike David, Saul has an endless number of loyal subjects, But it’s Saul making accusations that his followers are conspiring against him, He blames them for not revealing that Jonathan and David were in covenant, That covenant was struck in secret, so it’s unlikely the servants were hiding anything, But Saul’s paranoia doesn’t care about the facts, At the end of v.8, Saul is having a full-blown pity party, Once again, if anyone in this story had reason to sit on the ground and pout, it should have been David, But it’s Saul who’s in despair at this point, At this point, the character from the last chapter returns, Doeg, the Edomite, the one who noticed David hanging around the priests in Nob, Doeg tells Saul he knows that the priests gave David support, The way he tells the story makes it sound worse than it was, It wasn’t as though the priests were seeking to assist David so much as they were fooled by David’s lie, And by betraying David, Doeg wins points with Saul and that’s his desire, As Doeg expected, Saul reacts in anger to the news, The king demands the High Priest appear before him along with his whole household and all the priests of Nob, He accuses the priest of conspiring with “the son of Jesse” against him, He mentioned the bread and sword but then concludes these materials would be used to allow David to ambush Saul, Of course, nothing like this was planned, but Saul is simply imagining the worst in his state of paranoia, And the priest is as confused as Saul is paranoid, He first reacts incredulously at the idea that David would oppose Saul, He says no one is more loyal to Saul than David, the captain of his army, But as far as these matters, the priest says he knows nothing of them, which was true, He was acting under the deception David spoke to him, Saul isn’t convinced and orders the soldiers to kill the priests of Israel, The soldiers hear the command but take no action, They weren’t convinced there was good reason to take the lives of God’s anointed priests, These men had too much respect for the priesthood, so much that they felt Saul’s orders could be ignored, Clearly, they saw the command to respect the priesthood to be equal or greater than the requirement to respect the king.
