33m
In this pivotal episode, the focus turns to David’s anointing and the profound biblical theme that God chooses the humble. Dr. Ben Akers and Dr. Tim Gray analyze the rich symbolism of Psalm 23, the tension between Samuel and Saul, and the spiritual courage required to obey God in the face of danger. They also explore the visual and narrative artistry of the series, including David’s heartfelt prayer, Saul’s violent dreams, and the prophetic significance of anointing with oil. This commentary beautifully illustrates how God’s vision differs from the world’s—He looks not at appearances, but at the heart.
