II Samuel 22
1. In recent days we all have been horrified at the stories that have been coming out of Yugoslavia and Kosovo. It has been estimated, due to the hostilities and ethnic cleansing of Milosevic and the Serb army, more than 600,000 people have fled Kosovo and another 700,000 are trapped inside

(Figures from Newsweek, 4/5 and 4/12/99.)
2. Before us in the scripture is another story of slaughter and massacre. It is a story that tells of the murder of 85 priests along with women and children. There was only one survivor. A young man by the name of Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the high priest.

4. Abiathar would become the tenth high priest and King David's trusted companion and counselor. But before there were such happy days, there were horrible days.
5. Abiathar was the sole survivor of the massacre of Nob. Let's look at this c ...
