#259 | 1 Samuel ch.25 - Naval, Abigail and David's Moral Test

While an outlaw, David and his men have been patrolling the Southern Border and ensuring the safety of local farms and polulations.

When one of the local farmers - a rich sheep farmer called Naval - insults David and his men, refusing to share the bounty of the farm at the sheep-shearing, David decides to attack. It is the quick action of Naval's wife, Avigail, that saves David from performing a massacre. But this story reminds us of the violence that David can wield, and of the restraint that he has employed towards Shaul.
