Description The Life of David-As Reflected in His Psalms is a classic old testament bible biography by Alexander Maclaren.
Perhaps the most striking characteristic of the life of David is its romantic variety of circumstances.
What a many-coloured career that was which began amidst the pastoral solitudes of Bethlehem, and ended in the chamber where the dying ears heard the blare of the trumpets that announced the accession of Bathsheba's son He passes through the most sharply contrasted conditions, and from each gathers some fresh fitness for his great work of giving voice and form to all the phases of devout feeling.
The early shepherd life deeply influenced his character, and has left its traces on many a line of his psalms.
David a] is described in the Hebrew Bible as the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah.
In the biblical narrative, David is a young shepherd who first gains fame as a musician and later by killing Goliath.
He becomes a favorite of King Saul and a close friend of Saul's son Jonathan.
Worried that David is trying to take his throne, Saul turns on David.
After Saul and Jonathan are killed in battle, David is anointed as King.
David conquers Jerusalem, taking the Ark of the Covenant into the city, and establishing the kingdom founded by Saul.
As king, David arranges the death of Uriah the Hittite to cover his adultery with Bathsheba.
According to the same biblical text, God denies David the opportunity to build the temple and his son, Absalom, tries to overthrow him.
David flees Jerusalem during Absalom's rebellion, but after Absalom's death he returns to the city to rule Israel.
Before his peaceful death, he chooses his son Solomon as his successor.
He is mentioned in the prophetic literature as an ideal king and an ancestor of a future Messiah, and many psalms are ascribed to him.
Historians of the Ancient Near East agree that David probably existed around 1000 BCE, but that there is little that can be said about him as a historic.
