David, on the other hand, was a despised man, hunted down and chased, so that he did not feel his life was secure anywhere. Yet, he had to survive, in spite of Saul, and become king. For these words of the promise had to abide and come true, since God cannot lie or deceive. Just let not the devil and the world deceive you with their show, which indeed remains for a time, but finally is nothing.
