📖🕯 Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 22 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: David at Adullam, Many resort to him, Saul destroys the priests of Nob, Abiathar escapes to David.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "See what weak instruments God sometimes uses, to bring about his own purposes. The Son of David is ready to receive distressed souls, who will be commanded by him. He receives all who come unto Him, however vile and miserable; he changes them into a holy people, and employs them in his service: those who would reign with him must be contented first to suffer with and for him." ~ Matthew Henry

"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong." ~ 1 Corinthians 1:27 (NIV)

📖 About the book: The book of First Samuel is part of the narrative history of Ancient Israel called the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings) that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets. In this book we have an account of Eli, and the wickedness of his sons; also of Samuel, his character and actions. Then of the advancement of Saul to be the king of Israel, and his ill behaviour, until his death made way for David's succession to the throne, who was an eminent type of Christ. David's patience, modesty, constancy, persecution by open enemies and feigned friends, are a pattern and example to the church, and to every member of it. Many things in this book encourage the faith, hope, and patience of the suffering believer. It contains also many useful cautions and awful warnings.
