Reading for April 6th

 Read 1 Samuel 29.1-11.In 29.1-11: The Philistines reject David. In verse 2: The lords of the Philistines are the rulers of the five main Philistine cities. In verse 3: The commanders of the Philistine army who will actually be in battle object to the presence of David and his men, when they refer to as Hebrews,  possibly a term for mercenaries. In verse 6: It is surprising that Achish, the Philistine, swears here by the Lord, that is, Yahweh, the God of Israel. In verse 8: David's wish to fight against the enemies of my lord the is ambiguous. David's "lord" is Saul, but Achish takes it as a reference to himself. In verse 10: The place that I appointed for you is Ziklag. Comments or Questions..
