This novel presents David as a living legend of Hebrew history, and this is a presentation of him from a Greek point of view: a view which found its way into the English language. David's rise to power starts with the story of a man of God named Samuel. As a child, Samuel lived in a house of worship. The Lord singled him out as a prophet, and the child's first prophecy was one of judgment on the corrupt priests. This was when Samuel's people, the people of Israel, got used to being in constant battles with their most famous enemy, the Philistines. The Philistines capture the ark of the covenant, Messiah's earthly gift to Israel, but when the Creator sends judgment, the Philistines return the ark. Samuel calls Israel to repentance, and then to victory over the Philistines. But that was not enough for Israel: wanting to be like other nations, they desired a king. Samuel is displeased by their demands, but God the Father tells him that it is not Samuel's leadership they are rejecting, but his own. After warning the people of what having a king would mean, Samuel anoints a man named Saul. Saul enjoys initial success, but then he makes a series of missteps: he presumptuously offers a sacrifice, he makes a foolish vow at the expense of his son Jonathan, and he disobeys the heavenly Father's direct command. That is how David shows up…and if you want to find out what happens next and how it all ended up, you must open this book!
