Took me into the craziness of what went on in the Old Testament. A lot of violence, but it was true to the events in scripture! Ready for book 4!

Very nice. The series builds up beautifully. Some things seem to be a bit overstretched and a bit oversimplified, but still it is a good read.I will now slowly amble towards the next one. Thanks again Greg Baker.

Great book and continuation of the series.

Review Keep writing, I so enjoy your books. I am only missing one but they are so good. They have been such a joy reading them.

Wow!! The story gets better with each book. We see David progressing towards being the warrior king of legend. Having extensively studied 1st and 2nd Samuel and 1st and 2nd Kings verse by verse, the story comes alive. These books tell the story of King David in a dramatic and thrilling fashion.

Started with 4 stars went to bed and thought about it, changed to 5David has fled from Saul. Saul is relentless in trying to capture him. With Book 3 you see David as a young man, husband, & soldier

Spell bindingI am loving this series of Greg Baker. I know the story but he has made it come alive for me. I'm totally impressed with all the research he has done.

Good Read Book three in Greg Baker’s series on King David is well written and a joy to read. Well worth the purchase price.

Personalizes the daily struggles and victories, excellent novel! This next book in the series of David shows his character while managing life on the run, hiding from a jealous leader. The storyline is accurate to the Bible, to the geography, and historical customs. It humanizes the day to day life activities and shows God's protection in David's life. You won't want to put it down!

David has to head for the hillsDavid has now offended Saul so deeply just by existing, that his life is now in danger, along with the lives of his family and friends. It is plain by Saul's twisted reasoning that the evil spirit that had tormented Saul may have taken up permanent residence. Saul feels that he has been badly treated, and his twisted logic has him convinced he will be fully restored in God's and Samuel's good graces onky if he kills David. He believes that with David dead, God will have to let His Holy Spirit rest on Saul once again since there is no one else anointed any more, and furthermore, Samuel will have to attend him and advise him once again, and humble himself before Saul for "plotting against him." Yet Saul still refuses to do what would at least restore his fellowship with God and Samuel: confess he was wrong and repent of his disobedience to God's express commands, making no excuses, and also confessing and repenting of desiring to please his army more than desiring to please God. This Saul refuses to do, so God rejected Saul as King, and God had Samuel anoint David in his place - secretly, but word still got out eventually.David escapes, with Jonathan's help, and heads for Ramah to consult with Samuel. From there, David goes to Nob, where the priests and tabernacle lie, and asks for Goliath's sword and food, saying he is on urgent business for the king, in hopes that their aid will be attributed to his deception and not held against them. From there, he troes to hide in Gath, King Achish's area of Philistia, as a mercenary, but he is caught, feigns madness, and escapes with some unexpected help. He re-enters Israel close to Bethlehem, and decides he muat see his family. Together, they make some plans to lay a confusing trail and let David's old unit, the Indebted, know what is going on. Nearly 600 men, some known to him, some not, come to him in the caves of adullah, but mnay have no choice but to bring family. Knowing his men can't ficus if they're worried about their families leads to a side trip to Moab, and a request for hospitality based on David's GGM Ruth's being Moabite. While he doesn't get all he sought, he does arrange for safe haven for the families. Henreturrns to news thatnthe Philistines plan to raid a city where a good harvest is all that stands between famine and survival because Saul, having sent David away, and concentrating all Israel's resources on the hunt for David, has left no one to defend Israel against Philistine raids that result in the death or theft of livestock, the burning or theft of crops, death, and destruction. Israel needs the abundant harvest in that region to decrease the impact of famine. David, back in Israel and pursued by Saul and the army, is fleeing when he hears of the seige of the walled city that ahouses the graneries. Trapped between Saul and the Philistines, with both armies much larger than his, and both too close for comfort, David inquires ofnthe Lord, and the lone priest in Nob who survived tells him the Lord will give him victory over the Philistines, which He does. Now, as this book ends, David is again on the run from Saul, havingninquired of the Lord about staying in the city and being told the city elders will give him and his men up to Saul, even though it was David and not Saul who rescued them...even through David's men are weary from a forced march and ambush of the rear of the beseiging Philistines, and will have to flee as fast as they can, exhausted, hungry, and thirsty though they are. But these are hardy menz and even though some want to battle Israel and make David king in Saul's place, most of them respect his desire not to be guilty of regicide when God has said He will set a time for Saul to go, David is not to interfere. The book ends with God lending them the strength to escape Saul and Israel's army.

Great series. This is a great series. If your kindle budget allows. There are 4 books in the series, each 4.99. They are worth it but would have been better for us readers if more affordable.

Entertaining combination of scripture and story I enjoyed the thread of Samuel and historic scripture and the research the author put in to accurate descriptions of the settings and culture of the time.

Awesome! Brings to life my favorite book of the Bible: 1 Samuel. I can’t say enough good things about this series.

Realistic insight into the life of King David Greg Baker’s writing ability amazes me. Once I started reading The Fugitive, it was difficult to stop. Through his talented grasp for sentence structure, he reveals the setting and action that creates vivid images in the reader's mind. You feel that you are a direct witness to everything. Greg’s ability to capture the nuances of the characters' personalities, their personal quirks, and their underlying motives brings an added observation of these Biblical characters. The information that goes into the plot is meticulously researched to add historical background of what the people of that time and location would have experienced. He brings the Scriptures to life. I eagerly await Book 4.

Amazing Biblical historical fiction! Apart from the Lion of War series, this is the best historical fiction based on the life of David that I’ve read. The characters are well developed, and you actually care about what happens to each of them. I can’t wait for the final two books in the series!
