How could David possibly feel when he learned of the news that people were dying because of him? And Saul continues to pursue every day! I Sam 23:14. But God does not give David into Saul's hand. I Sam 23:28. A Rock of Escape.
David has 400 men with him---the discouraged, the depressed, the down-and-out.
Saul has 3,000 men with him---the arrogant, the confident, the jubilant, the best.
Yet . . .
David wins.
David spares Saul's life when he has a chance,
screaming after Saul:
"After whom do you pursue?" --- The person who just saved your life!
What am I really pursuing?
After whom do I pursue?

Psalm 54:4 - Look! God's right here helping me, just like He did for David. God is on my side.
Psalm 63:1 - I cannot get enough of Him!
Luke 22:62 Overlay Peter, friend of God, denying 3 times that he even knew Jesus. He is not my friend, says a plaque on a statue in Israel that I saw one time.
No, Peter, He is your Friend. God is on your side and come Resurrection, you will know it and risk it forever.
