As we examine the heroes of the faith outlined for us in the Old Testament, we would be hard pressed to find a more faithful man that King David. After the death of King Saul, David became the King of the Hebrew people. David, who was meek and pious, steadfastly believed in the true God and tried to do His will. He had endured much persecution from Saul and other enemies but did not become bitter, did not lift his hand against Saul, as he was the Lord’s anointed, but placed all his hope in God, and the Lord delivered him from all his enemies.

In The David Story, the largest portion of the story, takes place in Jerusalem. David was a great warrior of the Hebrew era. He was famously known for killing the Philistine giant, Goliath. He

Another North American Native American society that the culture evidenced in the Book of Ruth has key similarities with is the Cherokee Indian group. The Cherokees moved into modern day North Carolina during the Archaic Period and remained there until their removal in the 1800s by the United States Indian Removal Act, which relocated all southeastern Native Americans to Oklahoma. In the same way as the Cahuilla, the Cherokee and the Israelites share the common practice of levirate marriage. However, the Cherokee and Israelites share other similar cultural practices that the Cahuilla Native Americans do not practice. For example, both of these cultures put a heavy emphasis on horticulture. They both planted and farmed crops as a major means

Ruth’s family moved a lot because of her father’s job as a traveling rabbi. She says that he was hard a rock and because of this they didn’t stay in one place for very long. Once Jewish congregations figured him out they sent him away. For a Jew in Ruth’s time there were no many jobs available so most of them had to travel and preach. Because of this, Ruth moved around very often when she was young.

In the novel, ‘Song of Solomon,’ Ruth was perceived as this ruthless, yet very dependent on character when it came to those surrounding her. The author uses Ruth to show how she becomes a symbol of weakness throughout the novel through various instances. Ruth is captured as someone with lack of self-love to which she depends on others to receive her desires of being wanted, such as through Milkman.

This passage talks about how Ruth’s father, Tateh, ran a household. He did’nt show any love to his wife or kids but he put them to work. Sam got so upset about having to work in his Tateh’s store that he ran away. Running a household is a very important factor to Ruth and James. Ruth tends to run a very strict household with grades and if they don’t listen to Ruth they get punished by a belt. Ruth’s household tactics are similar to her Tateh but she shows love for them too. Ruth would even put a king or queen in charge over their siblings. In this passage, Mcbride is describing how Ruth and her siblings hated being treated as slaves to their Tateh. This also relates to what James and his siblings go through. Some of the siblings such as Helen

"David then led his troops to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebusites" (2 Samuel 5:6). Jerusalem becomes a historical and archaeological site when David captured the city and made it the capital of Israel. Archaeological evidence was located by a Hebrew University professor Yosef Garfinkel that authenticated the rule of King David. Objects were located in a "ruin called Khirbet Qeiyafa, a fortified border city in the Kingdom of Judah adjacent to the Valley of Elah, less than twenty miles southwest of Jerusalem and five miles west of Gush Etzion" (Gedalyaha, para 2, 2012). It is here that items such as, "pottery, stone, metal tools, art, and ritual objects" were located (Gedalyaha, para3,

Through chapters five to eight, Ruth’ children were most of the time hungry because they were poor. In my opinion there were several reasons why Ruth did not seek for help. First, in there time there was political problems and there were some talking about changing the system. Ruth could not ask for help from the government because maybe she though that the government had bigger problems than hers. Another reason is her problems with her family. Ruth could not ask her family to help her because she does not have any contact with them. Ruth’s family had abandoned her because she has changed her religious. Finally, because she was living alone with her children, and because she did not have any friends she could not ask for help from anywhere.

Though the clones comprehend they will never retain normality, it does not prevent them from imagining ordinary lives, which readers recognize through the character of Ruth. Of each of the characters presented throughout the novel, Ruth, more than each of them, wishes to reconcile her identity. Similar to many other clones at the cottages, Ruth expresses her desire for an alternative fate by mimicking the human mannerisms of the characters they see on the television. Extensively, she takes that longing and extends it into her resolve to search for her ‘possible’ or her human equivalent. Though she expresses her knowledge that clones are modeled on “trash”, she maintains the dream that her possible works in an office rather than on the streets

The book of Ruth is a story of faithfulness, obedience, and happy endings. These are three things that can be hard to find in the Old Testament. As far as happy endings go, the book of Ruth is just as good as an example as any. Much like the bedtime stories we are accustom to as a kid, Ruth features aspects of, uncertainty, faithfulness, and obedience that are rewarded by love. The best way to approach Ruth is to look at it as a four-part play.

The long-term effects of the affair between David and Bathsheba were numerous. First of all, David sent Uriah, Bathsheba’s husband, to the front lines with the assistance of Joab, to have him killed. David was relieved to find out that Uriah was killed, but then Nathan confronted David about the adulterous affair. David and Bathsheba’s first born son died because of the judgement placed upon them by God (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). Then Bathsheba became pregnant again, another boy named Solomon.

”We first encounter David as a lad in his father’s home at Bethlehem, where Samuel anointed him king over Israel (I Sam. 16 1 -13).2 A little later on he is called in to relieve Saul’s insanity by playing the lyre and is appointed Saul’s armour-bearer (I Sam. 16 14-23).3 His next appearance is in Saul’s camp when Israel is fighting the Philistines.”

The book of Ruth gathers much attention from its readers because of its briefness and simplicity. The book of Ruth is set in ancient Israel in the later portion of the Judges era, as it serves as a bridge between the Judges rule and the monarchy is 1 & 2 Samuel. This order comes from the Septuagint, and is very close chronologically. The book has a relative calmness to it that sharply contrasts the environment it is set in. To the inexperienced reader, the book may seem like just a short story, with little historical background. However, to the experienced and diligent biblical reader, it much more than that, as it contains many themes that are viewed through the all important eyes of a woman.
