When Leaders Lose Their Way | 1 Samuel 28 & 29 | Brent Smith

1 Samuel 28-29 highlights the stark contrast between Saul’s desperate rebellion and David’s protection by God. Fearful of the Philistines, Saul breaks his own law to consult a medium at Endor, where Samuel’s spirit predicts Saul’s death and defeat. Meanwhile, Philistine commanders distrust David, forcing him to return to Ziklag instead of fighting against Israel.
