David Spares Saults Life -I Sam. 26.
Golden Text, Luke 6: 27.
1-6. The Ziphites. The "Wilder-
ness of Ziph" was near Hebron, a. wild
and rugged country whidi in those
days had still patches of woodland.
The Ziphites had at an earlier time
shown hostility to David. and heal
offered. to give him up to Saol (233 14-
24). There are :some, however, who
think this story and that in chap. 23
to be duplicate accounts of the same
event. The "hill of Haehilah" was,
probably, between Ziph and En-gedi.
The statement that it was before
jes.himon means that it overlooked tb,a
barren and rough country which des-
cended steeply toward the deep basin.
of the Dead Sea on the east. fi was
in that, wildernesS, toward the Dead
Sea, that David and his men now hid
and :Tobin/led themselves by spies of
SauPs movements.
7-17. David and Abisbal. Joel) and
Abisbai are introduced here for the
first time. They were brothers, sons
of David's sister Zeruiah, and may
have been about the same age as, or
only a little younger than, Danid.
They had a very latge place in his
subsequent life. The daring adventur-
ere found Saul's camp but poorly.
gua.rded. The spear etucle in the
ground seems- to have been a symbol
of the king's authority, even as, to
this clay, the chief of a band of
Reidauin -Arabs has a spear stuck in
the ground at the-entranoe of his tent
Abishai se-ould have had no scruple
of conscience, but would have rid
David of his triemy at a single stroke.
It is a striking testimony to elle sup-
er:oatity* of David's tehetracter and the
genuinenese and sincerity Nef his reli-
gion, that he held the kingly office to
be a gift of God and refase,d to open
his ,own way to the lemgclein by an act
of murder. For who °anent north his
han,d against the Lord's anointeel and
be guiltless? David had a vivid re-
collection of the hole; anointir,g, oil

The Spear and the Cruse of 'Water.
From the other side of a valley, at a
eafe distance Dav:d roused the sleep-
ing camp by 'his shouts. In the dark-
ness Abner could not see who was
calling, but Saul recognized Davide
voice. Daval takes a keen 'delight and
a. bloodless revenge in taunting Abner
Lor -his neglect of a-atehfulneee. "What
a man tit thee!" he sail. "Who ia
Like thee in Israel? Why bast thou
not kept thy lord the king? You and
your men decerve to die for your care-
lessness."
My Son David. Once more, and for
the last time, the king's better mature
is aroused. He can not but see that
his life has been in Dav:d.'s hands and
yet he has been spared. Surely David's
accosers have lied to hini and his own
feare have ,been groundless. His old
affection for the fresh -faced bhy,
whose 3211.15i5 had charmed away his
fits of moody depres,sion, revived.
David _seizes the opportunity tc plead
Iris cause, and confound his enemies
who have persistently stirred up the
king against him. If the king's anger
is from the Lora, will the Lord not
accept ,an offezing, but if it be front
rnen ,who tell lies, may those men ba
accursed.
18,25. Go, Seorye Other Gods. David,
interprets hits outlawry as leardshinenti
from the country of J•eho.vali. Of
course he did not eerve °thee gods,
He.Temained true to Jehovah, the Cul
of hie own people. But that is the!
way his banishment would be eon -i-
tem -ay untaerretood in these days, when
meet' men thought of the god they
served as confined to one .ceuntry and
to the ,seveteignty-df one p6Ople. It
took a lontg time to learn that ,Te- --
hovah was true Levi of all countries
and nation's. David beg e that he may
not dae. outsed_e Jehovah's own lead
of leaael, ,adaey from home and
the graves of his ancestors.
Instead of to ,s,eelt a flea the ancient '
Greek vereion bas "to seek my, life,"
is likely to be the correct read-
ing (se 20; compare 24: 14).
