Research Paper Old Testament Survey Evelyn The word Bible comes from the Greek word Biblos, which means “book.” In a sense, the Bible is one unified Book. God speaks with one voice throughout His Book, calling us to accept His offer of eternal life and follow His commands. But the Bible is also made up of individual books—thirty-nine in the Old Testament and twenty-seven in the New Testament. These books were written under God’s inspiration by many different authors over a period of many…

from different religious backgrounds, David and Goliath. This story is about a young man (David) who defeats a giant (Goliath) with a slingshot and a rock. The story describes a young man who exhibits strength, courage, and the ability to conquer regardless of your size. In the Late Antiquity there is a painting of Samuel Anointing David possibly created between 245-256 that was found in Dura-Europos, that is narrating the story of how this young man, David, became the chosen one to rule…

The first three kings of Israel, Saul, David and Solomon were men of strength and weakness. When the kings listen to the message of God’s servants the prophets, they make the right decisions and experience the blessings of God. When the leaders reject the prophet’s inspired message, the entire nation suffers. Thus, everything ultimately rises or falls spiritually, socially, militarily, and politically because of leadership. As God’s anointed leaders, the kings are held accountable to maintain…

Abstract This article will include a discussion on the archaeological evidence for the existence of King David and the size of his kingdom. According to Merrill F. Unger, Archaeology and the Reign of David, as a result of an effective and compelling investigation, the discovery of the enormous borders of the City of David was questionable. However, sections of the Jebusite city wall and ramparts were thought to have included the acclaimed “Great Western Gate.” The Western Gate is an ancient…

and minor prophets. Daniel was written during the sixth century BC/E (ETOT pg. 428). This book is also only one of two books in the Old Testament partially written in Aramaic. The book begins with the basic tension of the first half of the book. David and his friends are very wise and capable. They are recruited to serve in the royal palace of Babylon, however, they are pressured into giving up their Jewish identity. They would have and to violate many Jewish food laws found in the Torah. So,…

statement said this is David’s Psalm as he is running from his son Absalom. I can’t imagine the pain and hurt David must be feeling. His own son is trying to find him and take over his kingdom and even kill him. I’m sure God has similar feelings when we his children run from him and try to place ourselves in a position that is “higher” than the Lord Almighty. It’s a hard prayer for David to ask the LORD to take care of the wickedness (his on son) that is seeking after him. I’m not looking…

Before ending their alliance, King David Callaghan and King Phillip Wylie beheaded King Aargau-during the Celestial Festival.

great kings, Oedipus and the biblical character David both have similarities in their sudden rise to success as kings in their young age and their degradation at the end of their reign as prominent monarchs. These powerful kings descended into sin, immorality, and lack of perception to distinguish their false self-righteousness. King Oedipus is the victim of a cruel sinful fate, which is inevitable for him to get away from as well as the great King David of ancient Israel, a leader that…

Written in the midst of World War I to mirror the biblical tale of David and Goliath, “Goliath and David” by Robert Graves conveys the theme that no matter how much one desires something, it is often out of one’s control. For example, Graves writes, “But… the historian of that fight/ Had not the heart to tell it right,” to preface the unconventional and dark plot to come (lines 11-12). The syntax and word choice from this part of the poem force the reader to pause and predict what will happen in…
