The Story of David and Bathsheba 2 Samuel presented David as the glorious, ideal and successful king of Israel. David ruled as a successful soldier and a king, but he fails due to his lustful behaviors and indulgence towards sin. 2 Samuel 11-12 reveals God 's omnipotent authority through His justice on David’s disloyalty with his kingdom and indulgence towards sin, and God’s mercy by giving David and Bathsheba another chance to live. The Book 2 Samuel is a Historical Narrative story. This book’s

book comes from the Greek word psallo which means “to pluck”, referencing the stringed instruments that normally accompanied the singing of the psalms. The psalms are composed by many people including David, Moses, Solomon, songs of Korah and Asaph. Psalm 18 states that it was written by King David, for which there is no concrete evidence to contradict.

Florence wanted to show this representation of David through his strength, courage, and youthful confidence in its city. So, dating back to the 1440s, David was a prominent aspect of Renaissance art. The radical change during the Renaissance led artists to alter the original composition of David. Some could agree that

“Were off to see the Wizard” One of the great movies perhaps of all times is “THE WIZZARD OF OZ” Dorothy is on a mission to find the Great Oz who she thinks will help her and her friends.

he showed emotion and wept before his infant’s death but showed no emotion after the infant’s death. David is very controversial and there seem to be various suggestions, ideas, and statements regarding David’s thoughts and resilience shown. David A. Bosworth’s article clearly states that David was a king of resilience, and argues several points why, but ultimately Bosworth’s claim is that David is primarily resilient after the death of Bathsheba’s infant child because of his piety and willingness

He writes, So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance.

Jerusalem is differentiated through the mindset of believers with the idea that is it God’s chosen city and the site of many divine encounters that can be seen throughout texts in

During the time of Samuel, the nation of Israel desired to have a king for many reasons. Ultimately, Saul was chosen and rejected, and was succeeded by David, who became a better king than Saul. Unfortunately, after David’s death, Israel was divided due to a sin committed by Solomon. Let’s begin by looking at why Israel desired a king.

Nevertheless, God graciously gives them a king, Saul, who eventually fails but God’s eternal plan of kingship unfolds as he choses a king for himself in David. Although 1 Samuel narrates the transition from theocracy, the judge, Samuel to a monarchial nation of Israel, the narrator reminds that Yahweh was already their mighty king and who had also proven himself trustworthy and also quite capable of
