The throne of Israel is in peril. A band of outlaws have pledged their allegiance to King Saul's son-in-law, David. Living in caves and deserts, the men of David try to keep hidden from the ever-vengeful wrath of their king. Meanwhile, in the small village of Kabzeel, Benaiah the priest lives peacefully with his wife and child. Against his wishes, providence continues to place Benaiah in the middle of Saul and David's battle. Rumors begin to spread that David has been chosen by God. Benaiah is told that he must pick a side. But whose side will he choose?

Tyranny requires two essential elements: fear and ignorance. What is the cure? Courage and education. It is time for Christians to get serious about taking dominion for the glory of God. The gospel isn’t only for individuals, but also for governments and nations.

What does it mean to be educated? Many parents have been duped into thinking that they are giving their children an education, and yet, when those children transition into adulthood, they are not at all prepared to be responsible, successful, godly people. This book carefully explains the difference between schooling and education, while offering practical insight and hope for the next generation.

Benaiah has joined David's band of outlaws and, in the process, has become a mighty warrior. When David finally comes to the throne of Israel, Benaiah and his family settle down for a life of peace. But little do they know; the true battle is only beginning. The family of Goliath seeks revenge, David's heart is distracted by temptations, and the unity of David's Mighty Men is pushed to its limit. When David does the unthinkable, Benaiah is faced with the fiercest challenge of his life. David is the Lord's anointed, but justice must be done.
