"David Entrusts a Letter to Uriah." In the Musée Condé, Chantilly.. David's mighty men were a group of his best 37 fighters (later expanded to around 80). Although the lists of his mighty men (2 Samuel 23:8–39 & 1 Chronicles 11:10–47) are given after David has become king, many of them may have been the loyal followers who stayed with him when he was fleeing King Saul.
David's behavior perplexed his courtiers, but understandable in conjunction with the theme of sin and forgiveness in verses 13-14: before the child's death, he was pleading 'with God for the child' (verse 16) as the only reasonable course to take (verse 22), but when the child died, David knew that his plea had not been accepted, so it was ...
David (/ ˈ d eɪ v ɪ d /; Biblical Hebrew: דָּוִד , romanized: Dāwīḏ, "beloved one") [a] [5] was a king of ancient Israel and Judah and the third king of the United Monarchy, [6] [7] according to the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament.

An initial report that all the king's sons had been killed had to be corrected by Jonadab, asserting that it was only Amnon who had died and providing David the information of the reason for Absalom's action (verse 32), then the king's sons indeed returned along the 'Horonaim road' (the Septuagint Greek version reads 'the road behind him').

The Court History includes several stories with a distinctly negative attitude towards King David (e.g., the story of his adultery with Bathsheba). German theologian Leonhard Rost [ de ] described the history of David's family in 2 Samuel 9–20 and 1 Kings 1–2 as a Succession Document aiming to justify Solomon 's succession to the throne of ...
