Discovery Box1 Samuel 19:5 
Context19:5 He risked his life 1 when he struck down the Philistine and the Lord gave all Israel a great victory. When you saw it, you were happy. So why would you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death for no reason?”
1 Samuel 20:29
Context20:29 He said, ‘Permit me to go, 2 for we are having a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother urged 3 me to be there. So now, if I have found favor with you, let me go 4 to see my brothers.’ For that reason he has not come to the king’s table.”
1 Samuel 21:2
Context21:2 David replied to Ahimelech the priest, “The king instructed me to do something, but he said to me, ‘Don’t let anyone know the reason I am sending you or the instructions I have given you.’ 5 I have told my soldiers 6 to wait at a certain place. 7
