David Flees to the Philistines

1 Then David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of seeking me any longer within the borders of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand.”

it touches you, and you are dismayed.

Isaiah 40:28-31

28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is ^athe everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
^bhis understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but ^cthey who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings ^dlike eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
