I Samuel 21:1-15
David went to Nob, Ahimelech the priest,Ahimelech trembled when he met him.
David was hungry asked for 5 loaves of bread, or whatever you can find. He had some consecrated bread- provided the men have kept themselves from women.
Saul's servant was there that day, he was Doeg , Saul's head shepherd.
David asked Ahimeleck some spear or sword, he replied,"The sword of Goliah, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, is here; " , David said" There is none like it, give it to me."
David fled from Saul to Achish king of Gath. David heard the servants of Achish said to him," Isn't this David, the king of the land? Is't he the one they sing about in their dance:"Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands?" David afraid king of Gath, so he pretended to be insane in their presence; and acted like a madman. Achish don't let David come into his house.(Psalm 34, 56 reflected these)
Why?
he way of fled from Saul, David was hungry and had nothing, he got bread from the priest and got the sword of Goliah whom he killed Ahimelech pays dearly for David deception, David is fed and armed that he could continue his way away from Saul.
Each Sabbath 12 fresh loaves were placed on the alter and the 12 stale ones removed.
Ahimelech pays dearly for David's deception. He and his family be slain by Saul.
David have to pretend himself afraid the king of Gath, Achish. It was hard way without any help.
Even the Load has chosen him be king of Israel, but before it come truth, David has to suffer some discipline to be a king. He has to walk through some difficult way.
How?
I was chosen by the Load to be a servant, I have to accept some discipline or suffer some difficult to grow up in my spiritual life and experience the mercy of the Load, and strength my faith to the Load.
Pray to the Load let me has strength to face the trail or test.
