Application:
It is the most incredible thing! David was Saul’s proclaimed enemy yet his relatives joined David’s camp. Saul’s own relatives defected to David’s camp! These were men skilled in warfare who went on to fight beside David in battle. Check this out! David did not have to lift a finger to convince them to join his army. Saul’s relatives sought him out and joined him voluntarily, without prompting! How amazing is that?!
When you are righteous and allow your steps to be ordered by the Lord, you will find even your enemy’s relatives in your corner, ready and willing to fight for your cause. Abide in God’s corner and watch His orchestrations.
