The Book of 1 Samuel Chapters 29 & 30 ESV Version.

Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of 1 Samuel. This is episode #15 chapters 29 & 30. 1 Samuel Chapter 29, is on the battle between the Philistines and the Israelites. They encamp in different areas and we learn that the captains of the Philistines refused to allow David to join them in battle. They were worried that he might betray them. Achish, however, showed that he believed David and begged him to return. 1 Samuel Chapter 30, opens with an account of David’s own city being spoiled by the Amalekites. While David and his men were busy fighting with the Philistine army, the Amalekites were plundering Ziklag.
