A PAGAN WEAPON WAS HIDING IN THE HOLIEST PLACE

A Philistine sword. Wrapped in linen. Kept behind the ephod, inside the sanctuary of God. How did it get there? Who put it there? And why did it reappear at the exact moment David needed it most? First Samuel, chapter twenty-one holds one of the most overlooked and theologically dense episodes in the entire Davidic narrative.
