David Chase

Conquest of David David’s reign brought Israel’s golden age. Baker’s Bible Atlas says, “Periods of political weakness in both Egypt and Mesopotamia made it possible for the tribes which had entered Canaan under Joshua a few centuries earlier to become a mighty nation” (124). About four millennia ago, Melchizedek was a king of Jerusalem (Gen 14:18). David conquered this city after seven years of his reign in Hebron. David took Jebus (Jerusalem) and made it his capital. Zondervan NIV Atlas of the

Ch. 26 " Saul came after David again when he was in Hachilah " David and Abishai went down to where Saul was sleeping and took his Spear and water instead of killing Saul " David and Saul talked again, and Saul ended up going back to his place while David went his way Ch. 27 " David fled to Gath, and asked Achish for land that he may dwell in and he was given Ziklag " David invaded the Geshurites, the Gezrites, and the Amalekites and left no man or woman alive, then returned to Achish Ch. 28 " The

In the poem “Casey at Bat” and “David and Goliath,” a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. The first similarity of the two is they both have a fixed mindset on how they are going to perform. Casey didn’t just swing and hope to hit the ball, he actually waited on the perfect pitch. David knew he could beat Goliath, because he had faith in God. In David and Goliath, the text says, “(verse 36) “Sir, I have killed lions and bears that way, and I can kill this worthless Philistine

One of the foundations of Israeli culture is Judaism, and the Weeping Wall in Jerusalem is one of the most iconic Jewish monuments. The lone wall was once apart of the Second Temple, a holy place. So who constructed the temple, why did they build, why was it destroyed, and what secrets can it tell us about the Jewish people and the Romans? The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians, but the foundational structure was rebuilt as a part of a decree made by Cyrus. However, Zerubbabel was governor

the kingship is weaker than ever. Marked by his affair with Bathsheba, Nathan’s parable, and the inevitable effects of aging, the king is now unfit to rule the land he once worked so hard for. However, despite being bedridden, it is implied that David still has not thought about which one of his sons he would like to be the new heir. Naturally, Adonijah, the eldest son, assumes he will take the throne and begins to campaign for kingship without David’s knowledge. One might think these events create

- The expositor’s bible says loving a philistine woman or man was against the Torah which Samson violated (Boda, 1213) - Samson was automatically given 30 “groomsmen” that were with the bride because that was the ritual way (Expositor’s, 1217) - Samson seems to have been an effective leader, but by his actions he leads everyone in the wrong direction (McCann Interpretation, 101) - Found it interesting that the narrator used the word “pretext” in verse four. The word is very misleading, because God

In Malcolm Gladwell book David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and The Art of Battling Giants, he claims that disadvantages aren’t always negative rather in some situations they can be powerful advantages. He starts with a narrative about Vivek Ranadive who decide to coaches his twelve year old daughter little league basketball team. But Ranadive was dealing with some disadvantages. First he had no experience of the game. He came from Mumbai; growing up with soccer and cricket. Second, his team

Psalm Chapter Twenty-Three I chose this psalm to reflect on because it is very familiar, oft quoted, and many have preached inspirational messages from it. The psalmist, David, depicts a very personal relationship between him and his God when referring to God as his shepherd; Kidner (1973) says, “In the word shepherd, David uses the most comprehensive and intimate metaphor yet encountered in the Pslams, preferring usually the more distant ‘king’ or ‘deliverer’, or the impersonal ‘rock’, ‘shield’

26:7-13 Introduction: David spares Saul a second time. Observations: In this passage Saul is king, but because of an unlawful sacrifice to the LORD in a battle with the Philistines, the LORD prepares the way for a man after His own heart. (1 Samuel 13:13-14) This man is David, the youngest of his family, and a keeper of the sheep. (1 Samuel 16:11) David is also anointed by Saul in 1 Samuel 16:13 and serves in Saul’s service in 1 Samuel 16:21. Saul relentless purses to kill David from chapters 19-23

Psalm 146, according to many Old Testament scholars, is thought to have been written sometime between Judah’s “return from exile in 538 B.C…. [and] the time of Ezra and Nehemiah in the middle of the fifth century B.C.” One reason that scholars think that Psalm 146 was composed at a later date is because of its use of Aramaisms in verses four (i.e. estonotayw or “their plans”) and five (i.e. sibro or “whose hope”), as well as its use of the late Hebrew word zoqep (i.e. “lifts up”) in verse eight
