Reading for April 2nd

 Read 1 Samuel 26.13-25. In verse 13: David went over to the other side so that if Saul purses him he can lead the army away from his unsuspecting men. In verse 16: You deserve to die hints at Abner's assassination (2 Sam 3). In verse 19: David curses any persons who have caused Saul to pursue him because this has driven him from the land of Israel, which is the Lord's heritage. The other gods are the gods of of countries outside of Israel where David sys he has been driven. In verse 20: A partridge is literally "the caller" or "calling bird." The comparison is apt since David is calling to Saul from a mountain. In verse 25: Saul's blessing subtly indicates that David will be king. Comments or Questions..
