  21. Unknown Perils In The Life Of A Renegade Pride Proverbs 16:14-25 ( KJV ) 14The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.  15In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. 16How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! 17The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. 18Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. 19Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

  22.

  32. Unknown Perils In The Life Of A Renegade • Pride • Self-righteous feelings and actions • Cut off the hem of Saul’s robe • 1 Samuel 24:1-22 ( KJV ) 1And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.  2Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.  3And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave. 

  33. Unknown Perils In The Life Of A Renegade 4And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privily.  5And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.  6And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD’S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.  7So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul.

  35. Unknown Perils In The Life Of A Renegade 14After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.  15The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand. 16And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.  17And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.  18And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.  19For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day. 

  36.
