David 2022 page 12 by ric gustafson
David sat before the Lord. He had been careless. He and his men had tried to attack Jebus on their own pride. He did not consult the Lord. He sat down and pleaded to God for mercy. He called for Abiathar and the ephod.
" Shall I go and attack the Philistines?".
Abiathar bent over the ephod.
The answer came.
" Go, I will hand the Philistines over to you".
David smiled. " Tell Abishai what the Lord said".
David's small army overran the much larger Philistine force.
Less than a week later, Achish was back with a larger force.
In heavy fighting, Achish was killed and his army retreated to Gezer.
