About this episode

David was anointed in chapter 16. He doesn't sit on the throne until 2 Samuel 5. Between those two moments—approximately fifteen years of caves, betrayals, fugitive camps, and Psalms written in the dark. The book doesn't apologize for the gap. It narrates it. Because the gap is where God is faithful before we can see how the promise will arrive.
