David Hides in the Wilderness
​​
Today's Passage: 1 Samuel 23:13-29
​

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.
​​
Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).
​

​2.
Invite God to join you in your reading. Ask Him for wisdom.
If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now.
He knows it. You are forgiven. 
Ask Him to help you embrace that truth to live it out.


a prayer:
Thank You for meeting me, LORD.

I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you, Omnipotent God for insight.

  • Begin by asking God to join you in building into your heart what He would want you to build.
  • Read the passage completely
  • Read the passage again. With the second reading, pause after each phrase/sentence and think about the phrase/sentence. Take the phrase/sentence in slowly.
  • You might want to reread the phrase/sentence until the meaning, or importance of the phrase/sentence really sinks in.
  • After reading each phrase/sentence at least once, sometimes more. Go back and reread the entire passage.
  • Do you find that the passage builds phrase/sentence upon phrase/sentence in importance? Why? or Why not?
  • What phrase/sentence do you find most important in the passage?
  • Thank God for this phrase/sentence and commit it to memory today.
  • Don't forget to thank God for being here today with you.

13. So David and his men — about 600 of them now — left Keilah and began roaming the countryside. Word soon reached Saul that David had escaped, so he didn't go to Keilah after all.
14. David now stayed in the strongholds of the wilderness and in the hill country of Ziph. Saul hunted him day after day, but God didn't let Saul find him.

15. One day near Horesh, David received the news that Saul was on the way to Ziph to search for him and kill him.
16. Jonathan went to find David and encouraged him to stay strong in his faith in God. 
17. "Don't be afraid," Jonathan reassured him. "My father will never find you! You are going to be the king of Israel, and I will be next to you, as my father, Saul , is aware.
18. So the two of them renewed their solemn pact before the LORD. Then Jonathan returned home, while David sayed at Horesh.

19. But now the men of Ziph went to Saul in Gibeah and betrayed David to him. "We know where David is hiding," they said. "He is in the strongholds of Horesh on the hill of Hakilah, which is in the southern part of Jeshimon.
20. Come down whenever you're ready, O king, and we will catch him and hand him over to you!"

21. "The LORD bless you," Saul said. "At last someone is concerned about me!
22. Go and check again to be sure of where he is staying and who has seen him there, for I know that he is very crafty.
23. Discover his hiding places, and come back when you are sure. Then I'll go with you. And if he is in the area at all, I'll track him down, even if I have to search every hiding place in Judah!"
24. So the men of Ziph returned home ahead of Saul.

Meanwhile, David and his men had moved into the wilderness of Maon in the Arabah valley south of Jeshimon.
25. When David heard that Saul and his men were searching for him, he went even farther into the wilderness to the great rock, and he remeained there in the wilderness of Maon. But Saul kept after him in the wilderness.

26. Saul and David were now on opposite sides of a mountain. Just as Saul and his men began to close in on David and his men, 
27. an urgent message reached Saul that the Philistines were raiding Israel again.
28. So Saul quit chasing David and returend to fight the Philistiens. Ever since that time, the place where David was camped has been called the Rock of Escape.
29. David then went to live in the strongholds of En-gedi.
1 Samuel 23:13-29 NLT
