In a live recording of the Bible Savvy Podcast, Pastors Clayton, Courtney, and David discuss a story where David has the chance to kill Saul, who has been hunting him down, but chooses to spare him.

God sides with underdogs. The books of Samuel open with this prayer: "[The Lord] raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes." This weekend begins a six-week Bible Savvy study of how this theme runs through 1 & 2 Samuel.
