Driven from his home and new bride by King’s Saul’s determination to kill him, David goes from being Israel’s greatest hero to a hunted fugitive.

During this time, he experiences loyalty beyond what he could reasonably expect, as well as painful betrayal.

His faith is severely tested, but he finds love where least expected; all the time wondering how these experiences could turn him into an effective ruler, should Samuel’s prophies prove true.

This seems doubtful as it becomes ever more difficult to escape from Saul’s pursuing army. Just when he believes he has found a safe refuge, it is captured and his wives are taken captive along with the rest of the city.

David experiences his most devastating loss and makes a mistake in judgment that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
