Thru the Bible: 1Samuel 30-31 Tonight we are wrapping up 1 Samuel which predominately deals with the death of Saul, which is in the final chapter. Ino ur first chapter tonight, (chapter 30) is a story you are pretty familiar with since I have used it many times in illustration in past teachings. It is David at Ziklag, which is the land the Philistine king gave to David during the time of his exile from Israel. David and his men had been ordered to return to Ziklag rather than participate in the war the Philistines were launching against Israel, because the other Philistine leaders did not trust David in battle.
