Please and Thank You

David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him. And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men. And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me. And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.-1 Samuel 22:1-4***After David was anointed by Samuel the priest, prophet and judge to reign as king, David became an armor-bearer and musician for King Saul, the 1st king to reign over the Israelites in the Promised Land. After David killed Goliath the gigantic Philistine, David had enemies, and friends, and people who provided him with necessary assistance. Jonathan, Saul's son, made a covenant with David. Michal, Saul's daughter, married David. The Israelite women sang of David higher in a song than they sang of Saul. Saul wanted David dead, and threw a weapon at David, and told Jonathan and others to kill David. Saul appointed David as commander over 1,000 troops, and sent David on a mission against the Philistines, hoping the Philistines would kill David. After Saul tried to kill David with a weapon a 2nd time, David left the palace and went home. Michal helped David escape, and David ran to Samuel. After leaving Samuel, David went to Jonathan and to  Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech gave David 5 loaves of consecrated  bread and the sword that had belonged to Goliath. After leaving Ahimelech, David went to Gath, Goliath's hometown, and to a cave in Adullam, in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Judah, the tribe of David's birth. When David's family joined him in Adullam, David took his father Jesse and his mother, whose name is not revealed in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, to a city in the land of the Moabites. David and his fellow Israelites descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his wives Leah and Rachel and maidservants Bilhah and Zilpah, and the 12 sons born to Jacob, his wives and maidservants. The Moabites, including David's great-grandmother Ruth, were descendants of Abraham and Sarah's nephew Lot and Lot's oldest daughter and their son Moab. born to Lot and his daughter. After Saul's self-inflicted death on the battlefield, men from the tribe of Judah anointed 30-year-old David, and David began to reign only over the tribe of Judah. Saul's son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) reigned over the other Israelite tribes. After Ishbosheth was murdered, the Israelite elders went to David and David made a covenant with them. The elders anointed David, and David became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd son born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 24:5-9, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 15:1-63, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
