Download or read book The David Story A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel written by Robert Alter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.
Download or read book David Son of Jesse written by Emily Binning and published by Innovo Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David, son of Jesse, was one of the most amazing men in the Bible. He killed lions and bears. He stayed out in the wilderness all by himself looking after his father's sheep. He was the youngest of seven brothers who didn't like him very much. To most folks he was just another country kid who would grow up doing just what his family had done for generations before him. But not this David! He grew to become an amazing man who had the ability to destroy giants and put enemies of God on the run. With his gentle hand on his harp, he could quiet the troubled mind of the King. Some men loved him, others hated him, but God said David was a man after His own heart. He became the most loved King of all of Israel. How could an ordinary man like David be someone the Almighty God of the heavens would love so much? I believe it all began with the wonderful love and guidance given by Jesse, David's dad. Jesse loved God and implanted that love into the heart of his youngest son. This story of David weaves a tale that is filled with the adventures of a young man and his father as they share the joys, sorrows, and adventures of life and David becomes rooted in the heart of God.----Exhausted after spending the afternoon with a bunch of rowdy boys and wondering how in the world she would ever make learning about Jesus exciting for these active young men, Emily Binning was moved by the Lord to write something full of adventure. Her longing to share the love of her heavenly Father as well as a strong relationship with her earthly father inspired the writing of this book, David, Son of Jesse. Other books by this author include Gordon Takes a Wife, the love story of Gordon and Emily's early married life, and Submit . . . to God, based on Gordon's early teachings.
Download or read book Book of David written by David Steinberg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-06-12 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning comedian, director, writer, and producer David Steinberg comes the totally original, utterly blasphemous, and hysterically funny memoir of a young man who emerged from a traditional Jewish childhood to become an international star—all because, it seems, he kept God in stitches. David Steinberg was raised in Winnipeg, Canada, by parents who expected little from him. And no wonder. Instead of studying Talmud in order to become a rabbi, he chose to major in Martin and Lewis with a minor in basketball. As David imagines the story of his life (since his success otherwise makes no sense), God one day spotted him on the playground and decided that this young man with no ambition could go far with His help. Sure enough, God soon had David on network TV and Broadway, and selling out nightclubs across the country—as well as being pursued by hot starlets. The Book of David is David Steinberg's hilarious trip down memory lane, assuming that the lane has a biblical address. This wild riff on the Old Testament is guaranteed laughter.

Download or read book David written by David Wolpe and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the figures in the Bible, David arguably stands out as the most perplexing and enigmatic. He was many things: a warrior who subdued Goliath and the Philistines; a king who united a nation; a poet who created beautiful, sensitive verse; a loyal servant of God who proposed the great Temple and founded the Messianic line; a schemer, deceiver, and adulterer who freely indulged his very human appetites. David Wolpe, whom Newsweek called “the most influential rabbi in America,” takes a fresh look at biblical David in an attempt to find coherence in his seemingly contradictory actions and impulses. The author questions why David holds such an exalted place in history and legend, and then proceeds to unravel his complex character based on information found in the book of Samuel and later literature. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of an exceptional human being who, despite his many flaws, was truly beloved by God.

Book excerpt: King David's achievements were never reached by any of the following Kings of Judah and Israel. Like Moses for the tabernacle, he made great preparations for the temple, not only in material but by organizing the duties of the Levites, the priests, the musicians, the gatekeepers and the treasurers.Like Joshua, his military and political organizations were exceptional. He succeeded in all the battles of the Lord and maintained peace within the Kingdom and around it in all its borders. The Kingdom of Israel reached the borders promised by the Lord, from Dan to Beersheba, under his rule.Yet, he was not perfect and made mistakes but his great success was based on the fact that he was a worshiper of God in all the circumstances of his life, he was quick to repent when he sinned and quick to forgive when offended. He loved Saul, who wanted to kill him, and mourned his death. He often consulted God and obeyed him faithfully. He listened to the men of God surrounding him. He was truly "a man after God's heart". He stayed faithful to God during his whole life and praised him until the day of his death.This book tells the full story of his life as told by the books of Samuel, Chronicles, Kings and Psalms.

Book excerpt: This book draws the story of David's life out from the lengthy history of Judah. The poetry makes it easy to read and explain to children.

Like us David was far from perfect, but always turned to God when he needed help.
