David Dobkin

“The field of Boaz was near the city of Bethlehem and was the place where Ruth gleaned corn for herself and Naomi. It is also in this area that David would tend his father’s sheep, and that Joseph would bring his young wife, Mary, to deliver her baby, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is possible that in the hills above these fields the shepherds were tending their flocks on the night when Christ was born” (Zodhiates). The location of this story is substantial enough on its own to warrant inclusion in the

David was living in a beautiful house which was made of fine cedar wood, while the Ark of God dwelled in only a tent. Because of this, David felt guilty about his seemingly lavish living conditions, so he suggested building a temple to the prophet Nathan, and Nathan tells David to do whatever he thinks is best. But that night, God spoke to Nathan and informed him that he has always lived in a tent or tabernacle, and he doesn’t mind it. God also reminds Nathan that he’s never asked any of the former

David Kills 100 Philistines “We love you David!” the crowd screamed like a siren in the heat of the night, pounding the towns ear drums until they bled, as David and the Israel army paraded into town. There was blood all over David’s armor but everyone wanted to see the little shepherd boy who had defeated the mighty Goliath. David had looked after his sheep day in and day out, but now he had become a well-known warrior of the Israelites; a hero to the people. Saul was king of the Israelites at

words I chose from this chapter are indomitable, which means impossible to subdue or defeat and resplendent, which is something attractive or impressive through being rich, colorful, or sumptuous. Both of these apply to this chapter and throughout David and Goliath with respect to the underdogs vs. giants, in particular, the underdogs all posses the quality of being indomitable in pursuing formidable opponents on a consistent basis usually achieving success. On the other hand, giants posses an appearance

Saul and David can be examined and evaluated using comparisons and contrasts. First, a difference that can find found between Saul and David is their relationship with the Holy Spirit. In 1 Samuel 16 we read that the Holy Spirit departs from Saul (1 Samuel 16:14-23). Upon the Holy Spirit leaving Saul an evil spirit enters him. This spirit starts to torment Saul and his servants suggest finding someone to help sooth this pain. Ironically, the person they find to assist in this is David, whom God

The chapters, 2 Samuel 11-12, explain and show the nature of humans and the nature of God as well. David is used as an example in these chapters as someone who falls short of temptation while being highly favored by God. David was doing everything right and was rewarded for it. David was granted everything he could possibly want and it was well deserved from his good intentions and morals. When David all of a sudden sees a beautiful woman bathing, he feels like he can justify himself as someone who

In this chapter, after Saul had been king of Israel for a few years, he hoped that he would be as truly a king as he looked, but a strange and willful spirit that led him to turn away from the counsel of the Lord and follow his own way. On the one hand, obviously, though he was the king of the country, he didn’t possess the true power to rule over his country on account of everything under control of God and of even himself dominated by Him; so he endeavored to escape from the disgusting situation

The story of Solomon was written in the Bible, but had been summarized and broken down by John S. Knox. John took key points from the Bible and reordered it so that the story would be about Solomon’s timeline. Solomon was the third and last king of the ancient city named Israel, and is one of the wisest kings and biblical figures of history as well as in religion. Solomon is said to be one who has actually spoken to God, or vice versa. So when it happened, Solomon didn’t ask for power or money, but

Psalm 29 “Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, Give unto the Lord glory and strength,” begins the signal to worship. This call to worship in the beginning of the poem flows smoothly into a praise of his power; the praises chiefly refer to “the voice of the Lord” and its attributes, using abundant natural imagery. The catalogue of characteristics is concluded by a quick closing benediction about how the Lord is king forever and how he will bless his people. Psalm 29 was crafted to credit the Lord

Darius was King of Babylon an ancient city. Daniel was governor in King Darius's palace. Now Daniel was loved by all Babylonians, well by most Babylonians because he had enemies that he never knew. His secret enemies were men from the palace, who hated him for his wisdom and fair judgment. Daniel was also a Hebrew. One day one man who was Ahaziah spoke to his friends and said,“Daniel is preventing our evil plans from coming to pass.” The other friend Micah replied,“But what can we do?” Sam the
