Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of 1 Samuel.
This is episode #14 chapters 27 & 28.
1 Samuel Chapter 27, talks about how David dealt with his opposition. David felt that he was not safe around King Saul and that Saul may kill him one day. So he flew to the king of Gath, Achish, who welcomed him, and gave him a Ziklag to live in, where he lived for one year and four months.
1 Samuel Chapter 28, The Philistines had gathered their army to battle against Israel. Achish told David that all of his men were to join his army. David informed him that he would now see what his faithful servant could do for him. Achish then made David his bodyguard for life.
