Description
Whither Malchut
Welcome to our twenty-fourth in a continuing series on the book of Shmuel or Samuel and the founding of Jewish monarchy.
Episode 24 Wherever I May Roam
In chapters 21 & 22 David goes on the lam. We follow the “refuge who would be king” to Nov and then the Plishti city of Gath wondering why David would choose this, the
worst possible location for which to flee. Luckily the king of the Plishtim has a good sense of humor about the situation. However, when Doeg, here in the role of Haman, informs Shaul of David’s access to a divine message, something which plays upon the king’s paranoid insecurities, a Churban of Nov ensues.
All this and more.
Thank you for joining us, I hope you enjoy this podcast and will consider sharing it with others.
