1 Samuel 27 narrates the continuation of David's story, which, running away from the persecution of King Saul, decides to take refuge among the Philistines. He receives the city of Ziclague from King Filisteu Acquis, and uses it as a basis for withdrawals to other cities. David deceives Acquisa, making him believe that he is fighting Israel, when in fact he is attacking other enemy peoples. The themes present in this chapter include David's escape, his life among the Philistines, and his cunning to deceive acquisit and remain safe.
1 Chronicles 12:1-2: "Now these are the ones who came to David in Ziclag, when he was still hidden because of Saul, son of wanted; and were the most brave, helping him in the war, armed From shields and spears, and whose face was like a lion's face, and which were as slight as the cords in the hills. " These verses mention the city of Ziclag, where David takes refuge in 1 Samuel 27, and speaks of the brave men who join him there.
1 Samuel 29:6-7: "Then acquired David, and said unto him, As well as the Lord, you were straight, and you came out with me and entered me in the village, and I didn't even find it harmful from you since the day in you May you have to have with me, to this day; but in the eyes of the princes you are not good. Back, for, and go in peace, that nothing that displeases the children of Ammon. " In these verses, David acquits him and send him away from his court, fearing that the other Philistine leaders do not trust David. This shows how David managed to fool acquit and stay safe among the Philistines.
Psalm 56:3-4: "At any time when I fear, I will trust you. In God I will praise His Word, in God I put my confidence; I will not fear what the flesh can do to me." David wrote this psalm during his escape from Saul, and expresses his confidence in God, even in the midst of adversity and fear. This feeling can be applied to 1 Samuel 27, where David seeks refuge among the Philistines.
Proverbs 21:30: "There is no wisdom, no intelligence, no advice against the Lord." This verse emphasizes God's supremacy over all things, and can be applied to David in 1 Samuel 27. Although he is using his cunning to deceive acquisit and remain safe among the Philistines, it is the will of God that God who prevails.
Isaiah 32:8: "But the nobleman makes noble plans, and in noble things will persist." This verse talks about the importance of having good intentions and acting just and noble. This is something that can be applied to David's character in 1 Samuel 27, who, despite being acting in a questionable way, was still intended to protect himself and his men.
