Read this first: 1 Samuel 22:22-23
David did not sin by going to Nob (21:1) but the visit did bring tragedy. David acknowledges that openly, including his misgivings at the time. Then he promises Abiathar safety, binding his life to the life of this traumatised priest, to assure him he means it. When our decisions harm others, even though we didn't mean them to, we should take responsibility and help.
Based on the sermon “Tough decisions”
