Synopsis

Deeply rooted in the Biblical narrative, this book follows David, a young shepherd chosen for greatness, through his rise from humble origins to the pinnacle of power as King of Judea. The author masterfully weaves the familiar account with imaginative insights into David's character and the tumultuous events of his time. Set against the backdrop of epic wars against the Philistines, the book explores themes of faith, destiny, and the nature of kingship. David, torn between his loyalty to God and the political realities of his reign, emerges as a complex and relatable gure. The author delves into the rivalry between David and King Saul, the tragedy of Absalom's rebellion, and the consequences of David's fateful choices. Through its exploration of David's motivations and the impact of his decisions, this book sheds light on the timeless human struggles for power, love, and redemption. It offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal gure in history, reminding us of the enduring power of faith and the complexities of human nature.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Chapter I SAMUEL was certainly getting to be an old man. He had been on his ass only an hour, and the sun was still low in the sky, yet already he was feeling stiff and hot, and the thought that Saul might be close on his track was unpleasantly insistent. He groaned and halted the ass. Elihu, who was driving the cow, halted too. Elihu, said Samuel. My lord, replied the man, flicking avay an insect from the cows flank. You say you know this man Jesse yourself. My father was his servant, and as a child I lived in his house. Yes; you told me so. Many times, foolish old man, muttered Elihu to himself, crossly, but softly, but you dont attend to what I say, and forget it the next minute, Elihu was annoyed with his master.
