1 Samuel 21-22

It took me about 10 minutes to read this story that centers on Ahimelech the priest. When David fled from Saul he came to Ahimelech a desperate man. The priest gave him holy food, the sword of Goliath, and his blessing. Then Saul called Ahimelech to his throne. He took the law in his own hand; convicting him of a capital crime that God had not prescribed.
We need to notice the type of men whom David welcomed: losers, vagrants, and misfits. They came to him and followed his lead. Often God's people find themselves surrounded by this type of people. Those who have no hope in this life find hope, and a purpose, when they seek out the people of God.
