David Wain

Saul and David had a lot in common. Both were kings of Israel while Samuel was its prophet. Both men were considered attractive. 1 Samuel 9:2 describes Saul as “a choice and handsome man, and there was not a more handsome than he among the sons of Israel.” David is described as “he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance” in 1 Samuel 16:12. While Saul was sent to find the lost donkeys, David was a shepherd over flocks of sheep. Both men were handpicked by God. God revealed his

hopefully you will have a better understanding of Psalms 15. Let’s begin by looking at the history behind Psalms 15. Psalms is broken down in to 5 books and Psalms 15 falls under the first of the five books which is witness to David's life and faith. David was a young shepherd and knew the struggles and beauty of tending and keeping his flock safe. He viewed God as our shepherd and used this analogy to help spreads God’s

requirements with regard to being fit to enter the temple for worship unto God (Varughese, n.d., p. 7). One course of thought among scholars and commentators for this psalm, is that it likely embodies the time when the David “brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness” (2 Samuel 6:12, New American Standard Bible; Kidner, 2014, p. 130). This occurred during the time when the Lord had given

Pharisees, as they questioned him and mocked him. While, King David lived a life of sin and lust, but remained faithful in his God Yahweh, yet Jesus lived a life of servitude and abstained from the sins of the flesh and his empire is unimaginable. God used Saul to establish the beginning example of what was to be a vast empire, but he needed an example of how not to lead so that future leaders were warned against it. Further, with King David and his sins ended up with Solomon and the temple, so it shows

In the poem “Casey at Bat” and story “David and Goliath,” a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. Their first similarity is that they were both extremely confident. This is true because the poem states, “There was ease in Casey’s manner as he stepped into his place; There was pride in Casey’s bearing and a smile on Casey’s face.”, Also the story states, “When Goliath started forward, David ran toward him.” This means that Casey is confident because he wasn’t scared he

The story of David and Goliath from the Old Testament has been told not just from the Bible, but also from art. The people of Florence identified themselves with David because they shared the belief that they defeated their own enemy with the help of God. Three artists sculpted a portrayal of David; Donatello, Michelangelo, and Bernini. Within each period, a different sculpture was created of David to represent new art ideas and techniques. Artists from the early Renaissance strived to portray lifelike

The story of David and Goliath is inspirational. It is about a courageous shepherd called David, who’s rescued Israel by defying a colossal giant called Goliath and killing him with a slingshot and a bag of stone-rocks. Donatello and Gianlorenzo Bermini made each a sculpture showing David. Each sculpture differs from each other starting with material, size, and style.

Harmon’s goal, according to his caption on the front cover is for “ordinary Christians to seek Christian unity”. And our author has a unique way of discussing the issue of Christian unity—he frames

Firstborn, David A. Bosworth looks at King David’s mourning, or rather lack of mourning, over the death of his son and Bathsheba’s firstborn and how this points to his resiliency as a result of the factors of the time period but more importantly, as a result of his faith in God. In the paper, Bosworth looks at King David’s previous faith in the Lord through rough patches as well as time period specific factors that could have led to his resiliency. Predating his official reign as king, David has taken
