Bonus Recording of the Live Tanach & Tea: The Story of David Hamelech

In this episode, we dive into Shmuel Alef Perek 28, starting from Pasuk 10, where King Shaul turns to the forbidden Witch of Ein Dor in a final, desperate attempt for guidance. As Hashem remains silent, Shaul seeks out the spirit of Shmuel — and the message he receives is chilling. We explore the emotional depth of Shaul’s downfall, the eerie atmosphere of necromancy, and the deeper themes of leadership, fear, and divine distance in this powerful perek.

Bonus Recording of the Live Tanach & Tea: The Story of David Hamelech

We delve into the intense narrative of David's strategic escape to Philistine territory and King Shaul's desperate decline. We explore how David, fearing for his life, seeks refuge with the Philistine king Achish, cunningly navigating his dual identity to survive. David deceived Achish by reporting that his raids were against Judah and other southern areas of Israel, making him appear as a traitor to his own people in Achish's eyes. This deception was crucial to keep Achish believing that David was no longer a threat to Philistine interests. Meanwhile, Shaul, gripped by fear at the sight of the amassed Philistine army, resorts to the forbidden arts of necromancy in a desperate bid to connect with the divine when all other avenues fail. We also talk about Avner's role & how to talk to Hashem via dreams.
