Dahveed 3: Yahweh's Fugitive

Dahveed 3: Yahweh's Fugitive by Terri L. Fivash. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780984815609.

He was Sar Dahveed Israel—the king’s son-in-law, captain of the guard, and most loyal servant. But after witnessing Dahveed’s glowing reception along the road to Gibeah at the end of the war season, King Shaul ordered the death of Israel’s hero . . . again. Only this time, Hassar Jonathan’s pleadings were powerless to sway his father’s wrath. Forced to abandon all he had come to love, Dahveed bitterly fled Gibeah and soon was hunted like a beast of the field. Nonetheless, Yahweh had great plans for His anointed one. While Shaul lost the respect of Israel, and Jonathan worked to prepare the kingdom for Yahweh’s chosen king, Dahveed reluctantly accepted the growing band of men that Yahweh sent to serve him. Still uncertain of his right and ability to govern, he found encouragement in Roeh Shamuel’s last words of “Yahweh has given you all you need to become Melek for Him. But you must remember to use what He has given. Learn to follow Him closely in every responsibility which is yours.” Then Yahweh sent the Gebirah—Abigail. Based on solid historical research, this third book in Fivashs series on the life of David takes the reader through Davids life as a fugitive, filling out the biblical outline while remaining true to the culture and thought of the times in which David lived.
