Now Achish said, "Where have you made a raid today?" And David said, "Against the Negev of Judah and against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites and against the Negev of the Kenites."Once again, David lies to keep himself out of trouble. He tells the king he has been attacking Israel, when he's actually attacking the other nations around it. He makes things up to curry favor with this foreign king, because he thinks he needs the king's protection from Saul.
But does he? God has seen him through all this, saved him from Saul multiple times. Why does he suddenly doubt that God will continue to protect him? After all He's done, why doubt now? He has God's promise of what his future will be, and He has kept His promises so far. Why would he suddenly now decide to renege, and let David die?
