When David the future king of Israel was being hunted by King Saul. he fled of all places to the land of the Philistines, to one of their major cities Gath. ( 1 Samuel 21 v 10 -15 ) Why did he go to such a place?,had David not killed their champion Goliath, and why did the Philistines allow him in the country?. Possible because he would have been seen as a defector , David wasn't but they were not to know that,he was after all going to be Israel's next king,My study Bible writes,'Soon however the Philistines became nervous about David's presence, after all he had slain thousands of their people'.David felt himself in real danger so he pretended to be insane,and then he fled to a cave in Adullam. Out that fearful experience he composed Psalm 34, it is a song of praise, and a testimony to God for his deliverance.In that life threatening experience David was fearful, remember even a great man has fears,but he didn't run with his fears,no, instead he ran to God. God did not turn a deaf ear to his prayer for deliverance,hear is what he says,( 4) 'I sought the Lord and He answered me',hear this, God answers prayer.next,'He delivered me from all my fears',Hear this,God can deliver you from all your fears. We will continue this next time.
