The book of 2 Samuel tells the story of King David and his rise to power‚ as well as reign- the good and the bad. The focus here will be on 2 Samuel‚ chapters eleven through thirteen‚ which depict some of the darker times in David’s rule. The theme of these three chapters is God’s modeling of King David.

that there were actually different versions of David came as a surprise to me. I am not a fan of art and never expected to be interested in learning about sculpture. The three artists featured in this checkpoint all have a different styles for this same sculpture. I will cover each in an order that seems more logical because in a sense‚ I believe that the three David sculptures show different points in the war. Michelangelo’s David shows David in a mostly relaxed stance. There is great detail
