David worked out a plan that involved Zadok and Hushai, another loyal friend of David's. (2 Samuel 15:32-37) Following the plan, Hushai won the confidence of Absalom and recommended a military strategy that would give David time to prepare for an attack. Next Hushai informed Zadok and Abiathar of the plan. (2 Samuel 17:8-16) The two men were then able to send a message to David. (2 Samuel 17:17) With Jehovah's help, Zadok and his fellow priests played an important role in protecting David's life. -2 SAMUEL 17:21, 22.
If we are called to help our brothers during dangerous times, how can we show courage like that of Zadok? (1) Follow direction. In such circumstances, it is important that we remain united. Cooperate with the direction from your local branch office. (Hebrews 13:17) Elders should regularly review local arrangements for disaster preparedness as well as organizational direction on what to do when a disaster is imminent. (1 Corinthians 14:33, 40) (2) Be courageous but cautious. (Proverbs 22:3) Use common sense. Do not take unnecessary risks. (3.) Rely on Jehovah. Remember that Jehovah is deeply interested in the well-being of both you and your brothers. He can help you assist your brothers safely.
