Stihovi vezani uz 1 Samuel, 29:

1 Samuel 29 narrates David's story going to battle with the Philistines, but being rejected by the Philistine leaders. David, who hid from the Israelites among the Philistines, was considered an ally of them, but the other Philistines did not trust him enough to let him fight the Israelites beside them. The verses related to the topics addressed in 1 Samuel 29 are:

Proverbs 29:25: "The fear of man shall arm ties, but what he trusts in the Lord will be put in high retreat." The Philistine leaders feared that David would change aside in battle and thus set a bond so he could not fight them.

Psalm 118:8-9: "It is better to trust the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to trust the Lord than to trust princes." David trusted the Lord to protect him, even when the Philistine leaders rejected him.

2 Corinthians 6:14: "Do you not attach you to an unequal yoke with unbelievers; For society has justice with injustice? Or what communion has the light with darkness?" David, who was a servant of God, should not have allied himself to the Philistines, who were enemies of God's people.

Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not have anxious for anything; before all are your known requests before God for prayer and supplication with thanksgiving; and the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding, will keep your Hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. " David could have been anxious about the situation he was in, but he chose to trust God and leave his concerns about him.

Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust the Lord of all your heart, and do not stir in your own understanding. Recognizes him in all your ways, and he will straighten your paths." David trusted God to guide him in his ways and decisions, even when they seemed to make no sense in the eyes of men.
