Bethlehem‚ to the house of Jesse (vv. 1-13). God had chosen one of Jesse’s eight sons as Israel’s next king” (Arnold & Beyer‚ 2008‚ p. 201). David was just a boy‚ and but‚ “…his heart followed the Lord” (Arnold & Beyer‚ 2008‚ p. 201). The lesson of God using those who have turned towards Him‚ opening up themselves to walk with the Lord is huge in this telling. David did what God told him to do‚ unlike Saul. He also did what he wanted‚ especially with women‚ but when God told him to do/not do something

Samuel that the people were rejecting God. Samuel anointed Saul to be Israel’s first king with the guidance of God. Samuel most likely wrote his account down to show future Israelites how the monarchy came about.. Samuel’s account ends far before David takes over the throne and also highlights many of Saul’s wrongdoings as he most likely wanted to show the people how a human ruler was so easily corrupted. The passage also shows

SUNDAY DECEMBER 11‚ 2011 Literary Analysis The story of David and Goliath is a story most people would remember from Sunday school. The way that a young man could defeat a giant and someday become a King always fascinated the children. However‚ this story contains a deep theological message within it.

they made a different choice. “A Journey” is a short story by Colm Tóibín‚ which focuses on self-evaluation and eventually taking over command of your future.

Michal’s soil is “ungrateful to the tillers care”‚ Annabel is almost a gift to Absalom from his father David and the king “Is grown in Bathsheba’s embraces old”. Apart from these three somewhat humiliating references there is no other mention of the women in Absalom and Achitophel. The poem surely aims at fashioning a binary opposition between the feminine qualities and the masculine faculties that David/Charles II represents. The perfidious nature of the group that goes against the divinely justified

Covenant and Calling I thought the Davidic Covenant was a major covenant throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. It is a promise between God and David and his descendants.

With all the Psalms that David wrote‚ Psalm 23 stands out to me the most. It’s a really short one‚ but I like how it projects a lot of David’s heart for the Lord. As I read it over and over‚ I can see and feel David’s heart-felt worship for the Lord. What I really like in this Psalm is that David shows us complete fullness in God as he worships Him. He knows there isn’t anything else that could bring him complete satisfaction‚ joy‚ security‚ and peace. I like this Psalm most out of all the other
