An Unlikely Providence
1. David’s Refusal
• David refused to take vengeance into his own hand without God’s direct word
• David felt guilty even of a symbolic act against Saul

An Unlikely Providence
2. David’s Innocence
• David viewed God’s providence as a means of proving his innocence before Saul
• David trusted the Lord to ultimately judge and to vindicate him

An Unlikely Providence
3. David’s Assurance
• Saul assured David that he would be king over Israel
• David assured Saul that he would have mercy on Saul’s household

David as a Paradigm
1. Never take your own revenge
![Page 9: In Search of a King. Special Order 191 Gibeah Ramah Bethel AMMONITES Nob Bethlehem Adullam MOAB Keilah W. of Ziph W. of Maon Ziph Engedi.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f3e5503460f94c5ee5f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. 20 “BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
(Romans 12:19-21)

David as a Paradigm
1. Never take your own revenge
2. Wait on the Lord to fulfill His promises

7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
8 Awake, my glory!Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;I will sing praises to You among the nations.
10 For Your lovingkindness is great to the heavensAnd Your truth to the clouds.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God;Let Your glory be above all the earth.
Psalm 57 (David “in the cave”)

Prefiguring Jesus
1. Like David, the Christ “must” suffer – suffering before the crown
2. Like David, Jesus did not seek His own revenge but “kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges justly”
