Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Solomon: His Life Times Chequered fortunes of David - His early prosperity as a king - His career darkened - Uriah and Bathsheba - Joab´s power over David - The birth of Solomon - Significance of David´s remorse. Few careers have been more chequered than that of David; few even of the lives recorded in the sacred volume arc more deeply instructive. The ruddy shepherd-lad, who tended his few poor sheep in the wilderness, rapidly sprang into the great warrior, the darling and hero, the poet and ruler of his people. Gaining yearly as Saul lost, superseding even Jonathan in the favour of the multitude, he had been so openly regarded as the future wearer of the crown, that, the king´s jealousy drove him into outlawry, and repeatedly sought his life. Saved from imminent perils, and from incessant temptations to adopt a career of crime, he had shown such consummate tact and skill as the chief of a dangerous band, that on Saul´s death he had beer chosen king by the tribe of Judah, and solemnly anointed at Hebron. After he had reigned seven and a half years as King of Judah, the murder of Ishbosheth, son of Saul, left Israel free to elect a successor, and David was unanimously invited to rule over the Twelve Tribes. Then began a period of unexampled prosperity. He gained secure possession of the City of Jerusalem, and consecrated it by the translation of the Ark thither from Gath-Rimmon. He strengthened bis throne by a Court,a Bodyguard,and an Army. God "made him a great name like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth." He became the father of a large and beautiful family. He was recognized not only as a King, but also as a Psalmist and Prophet.
