Another opportunity to destroy the one who pursues him. He sneaks in to Saul's camp and takes his spear from beside his head. Can you imagine, the courage, the audacity? But, David will not lay a hand on the LORD's anointed. He will not kill Saul even though Saul has come out against him, again.
Again, the two depart in peace and go there separate ways.
Another awesome example of loving even your enemy.
"On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.'" Rom 12:20 NIV see also Prov 25:21-22
If we could but all have the courage to love and to show mercy as David did. David is not afraid of his pursuers. He stops and stands and confronts them. He is not afraid. The LORD is with him.
