Everything seems to be going well for our young hero, David, but his success eventually causes King Saul to keep a jealous eye on him. Through a series of events, it becomes clear Saul’s jealousy has led him to try and kill David. As David goes on the run we see the defining period of his life when he’s hiding in caves. How does the future king handle going from the castle to the cave? Through David’s example in this period of his life we see how God uses the desert to redirect David — how God forges a king in the cave.
