<p>From Ke&#39;ila to the wilderness of Zif, David pursues the Philistines ; Saul Pursues David. David defends the country even while on the run; Saul is consumed by his fear and loathing of David. </p><p>David has an Efod. He consults with God; another contrast to Saul.</p><p>After the massacre at Nov, Ke&#39;ila and Zif are afraid for their fate, and inform against David.</p><p>--</p><p>Originally uploaded January 25, 2023</p>
