In so many of his personal stories, King David is a living foreshadow of Christ. This is true in the story of David's raids in 1 Samuel 30, which is a foreshadow of Matthew 20, the parable of the Vineyard. The point is, we tend to base our ideas about heaven on our own, shadowy earth values. But Jesus, time and again, said, "The kingdom of heaven is like ..."  What we learn in this story of David and the parable of Christ is that in Heaven, reward is based on Love, which is what God is. And we know He so loved the world ... that even those who show up at the last hour, even those who've been too tired to labor in these huge fields of harvest ... God's love is generous.

In these chapters, Saul, the first king of Israel, is faced with impending war against the Philistines. He seeks guidance from God, but receives no answer. In desperation, he visits a medium and asks her to summon the spirit of the prophet Samuel, who had died. Samuel's spirit is summoned and predicts Saul's defeat and death in battle. Saul and his sons are indeed killed in the battle, and the Philistines display their bodies on the wall of a city.

Chapter 28 describes the desperate situation that King Saul finds himself in as he prepares to go to war against the Philistines. Saul is afraid and unsure of what to do, so he seeks guidance from God. However, God remains silent and does not answer Saul's prayers. In his desperation, Saul turns to a medium to summon the spirit of the prophet Samuel. This is significant because it goes against God's commandments to consult with mediums and spiritists (Leviticus 19:31, 20:6).

In  chapter 29, the Philistines prepare for war against Israel. David, who has been living with the Philistines for a time, has been drafted to fight alongside them. However, the Philistine commanders do not trust David and send him back to his camp. As a result, David and his men are spared from having to fight against their own people.

In chapter 30, David and his men return to their home base of Ziklag to find that it has been raided and burned down by the Amalekites. Their families have been taken captive, and David's men are so distraught that they talk of stoning him. David seeks God's guidance and receives assurance that he will be able to rescue their families. David and his men pursue the Amalekites, and with God's help, they are able to defeat them and recover their families and possessions.

Chapter 31 describes the battle between the Israelites and the Philistines. Saul and his sons are among the casualties, and the Philistines decapitate Saul's body and put it on display. The chapter ends on a somber note, with the people of Israel mourning the loss of their king and soldiers.

These chapters depict a series of desperate situations for the characters involved. The chapters also highlight the theme of God's sovereignty, with God's will ultimately prevailing despite the actions of humans.

Psalm 18 is a song of praise and thanksgiving to God for delivering the psalmist, David, from his enemies. David recounts how he called on God for help and was rescued from the hands of his enemies. He describes God as his rock, his fortress, and his deliverer. The psalmist then reflects on God's power and majesty, and how God had helped him overcome his enemies. The psalm ends
