On the Road with Logos - Ein Gedi: David On The Run

When the young David killed Goliath, he became a national hero, and within five years, David was commanding a fierce band of king Saul’s army. Saul—a man who looked like a king, but didn’t have the heart of a king—grew increasingly jealous of David, finally sending a team of men to assassinate David in his bed. David escaped, and he went on the run. Recruiting six hundred very tough mercenaries, David went to work for the Philistines, Israel’s sworn enemy. Yet, all the while, David played the double agent, feeding information to Saul’s son, Jonathan, as Jonathan fed misinformation about David to Saul. The confrontation between David and king Saul was inevitable. Saul had every resource tasked to find David. And finally, at the caves of En Gedi—David’s hideout—the two meet. This is a GREAT story!
