After David experienced great victories in battle and was anointed as the next king, he found himself fleeing for his life from Saul, the current king. David fled to the Cave of Adullam. It was there in that Cave, while running for his life, that God used David to make a mighty army out of the distressed, indebted and discontented men that gathered themselves to David. The Cave was a time of preparation, a time when God proved what was in David’s heart.
