David and Shaul Against the Philistines

In this episode, we witness David stuck in exile among the Plishtim at the very time the Plishtim are preparing to attack King Shaul and the Jewish people en masse. Yet David is not just in a difficult position with regard the the Philistine King Achish, his host, but also is forced to battle the implacable Amalakites at the same time as the Phishti armies are massing. Shaul feels the Divine presence leaving him, for the Almighty is silent towards him and his enemies the Plishtim gain courage. He makes the desperate decision to consult the Witch of Endor, who summons the spirit of the Prophet Shmuel, who in turn delivers a stinging rebuke to King. contact us at: [e-mail] and support us on Patreon: The Kings of Israel Pod
