Publisher's Synopsis
King David was a shepherd boy who became Israel's third and most important king. He's the most frequently mentioned human in the Old Testament, and the second most frequently mentioned human in the entire Bible (only Jesus Christ is mentioned more).
This volume which is part of the noted scholar Dr. Israel Drazin's popular Rational Series concentrates on the early life of biblical David before he became king of united Israel as portrayed in I Samuel from chapter 16 to the end. Dr. Drazin examines what the text states about one of history's greatest heroes.
We see that there are many instances where it seems that there are two versions of the same story and that leads us to ask:
Did David kill Goliath?
Was the young David a simple shepherd and musician or was he a scheming man of war?
How did Saul meet David? There are two versions.
