I Samuel 29:6 – God can hide His purpose from all who oppose Him.
I Samuel 30:6 – When we experience a major loss in our lives we have the option to dwell on the problem and our feelings instead of turning away from our pride in our self “Oh woe is me” and turning to God trusting Him to help us through the recovery.

I Samuel 30:26 – David is being generous with all that he received from God in retrieving the captives from the Amalekites. He seems to be repaying the generosity of those areas that helped during the time he was running from Saul.
