Life of David-Fugitive Years Wk 9

David’s Downward Slide          1 Samuel 21:1-15 
l     Then came David to Nob-Means a Knoll or Hill
l     Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David-Literally, Went Trembling to Meet David
l     Why art thou alone?-The Arrival of the King’s Son-in-law With No Escort
l     The king hath commanded me a business-Another Lie
l     What is under thine hand?-What Do You Have At Hand?
l     No common Bread under mine hand-I Have No Ordinary Food
l     Hallowed bread-The Shewbread
l     If the young men have kept themselves at least from women-Ceremonially Clean
l     About these three days since I came out-Hiding by the Rock
l     The vessels of the young men-The Bags Used to Carry the Bread
l     The bread is in a manner common-Not a Religious Assignment; Secular
l     Taken from before the LORD-Not a Common Practice
l     Doeg, an Edomite-Prominent in Saul’s Service
l     Detained before Jehovah-In Seclusion within the Tabernacle
l     Is there not here…spear or sword?-David Felt Helpless at the Sight of Doeg
l     Wrapped in a cloth-Protected
l     There is none like that-A Memorial of A Great Achievement
l     David arose and fled-Doeg at Nob Worried Him
l     For fear of Saul-Replaced Faith in the Lord
l     Achish the king of Gath-Flees to the Philistines to Hide
l     Is not this David the king of the land-Meaning Generally Israel’s Great Man
l     Did they not sing one to another of him in dances?-Chanted back and forth
l     David’s Reputation Preceded Him
l     Changed his behavior-Literally, His Taste
l     Feigned himself mad-Pretended to be Insane
l     Scrabbled on the doors of the gate-Defaced Public Property With Graffiti
l     Spittle fall down upon his beard-Disgraced His Manhood
l     The man is mad-Achish Believes David’s Madness is Real
l     Have I need of mad men-Don’t I Have Enough of My Own!
l     In my presence-Means Against Me
