“No One Is Sorry For Me”

“No One Is Sorry For Me”

Blessings folk!

Watch what happens next to David.

This is a biblical example of the distinction between someone who had the Spirit of the Lord and someone who does not.

David had the Spirit.
The Spirit had left Saul.

1Sa 22:5-8
The prophet Gad said to David,
“Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah.”
So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.

Then Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered.
Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.

Saul said to his servants who stood around him,
“Hear now, O Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse also give to all of you fields and vineyards?
Will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?

“For all of you have conspired against me so that there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse,
and there is none of you who is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in ambush, as it is this day.”

The prophet Gad told David to leave the stronghold…the cave of Abdullam.
He told him to go to Judah.
David did so.
Apparently David received this as the Word of the Lord.
David went to the forest of Hereth.
The Word of the Lord through the prophet.

Saul heard that David and his men had been found.
What did Saul do?
Well, first, we see him sitting under a tamarisk tree.
We have seen this before.
He liked to sit…and do the king thang…with servants about.

In this case, he whined.
And whined.
And whined.

He threatened his people, Benjamites, with “will David give you all I have?”..fields, vineyards, power?

Saul then continued.
“All have conspired against me…”
“No one discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse…”

So, we now know that Saul knew about the covenantal relation of Jonathan and David.

Growing whining…
“None of you is sorry for me…”
“None of you discloses that my son…ambush…”

Sad is the mind of one who has not the Spirit.
