David's escape

In the book of 1 Samuel, chapters 27-28, David escaped to Philistia and lived among the Philistines.

David did this to get as far away from Saul as he could, so that Saul would not pursue him any longer.  The plan worked.  In the meantime, Saul disguised himself and consulted a medium to find out all he could about David.

The medium was angry, saying Saul was trying to trick her into using her fortunetelling skills.  Saul advised her he would not do such a thing.

The medium consulted with the spirit of Samuel.  Samuel told Saul to lay down his weapons and join David and his army.
