This passage contrasts the power of God with the power of human authority. Though David is a fugitive from the State, he is loyal to the people. He is a savior of the people or a traitor, depending on one’s perspective. The passage also demonstrates that God allows humans the freedom to act as they wish; it is through prayer and His answers that he controls events. Listen to the audio version of this study.
