God choose David as His choice for their leader. David, a “Bethlehemite from the tribe of Judah, and a fulfillment of the Messianic prophesies “. (6) David was the complete opposite of Saul. David wasn 't that good looking. He was basically a boy, but the greatest thing about him was his love for the Lord. God knew that by choosing David as the Israelites new leader would be the greatest decision because of his bravery. David gaining his victory against Goliath showed…

In the seventh century, the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel faced the rising empires of Assyria and Babylon. In order to survive possible invasion or annexation, the Kingdom of Judah issued many religious reforms under Kings Hezekiah and Josiah. Religious practices before these threats were much more decentralized and had roots in earlier Yahwistic cultic practices. An example of these practices would be the High Places as areas of worship. With the downfall of the northern Kingdom of Israel, Judah…

In the poem “Casey at Bat” and the story “David and Goliath,” a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. The first similarity is that they both have multiple people depending on them. All of the Israelites were depending on David to defeat Goliath so that they could have a fair battle. Casey has his entire team relying on him and not to mention the crowd. In the text it says, “There was Jimmy safe at second and Flynn a-hugging third.” So Casey had bases loaded and the…

King David was an amazing man, but everyone has faults and he is no exception. However, he is arguably better than King Herod. David is the earliest king and prophet of Islam. Yet, as most of us know he is a deeply flawed man. Early in his life he was a mere shepherd boy and at this time, the Philistines were at war with Judea. However, the Philistines had made the king an offer, they had told him if he would send out one of his men to defeat Goliath, they would…

our way. David prays to the Lord, saying “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” This is putting a relationship in place where David is solely dependent on God for all his needs in this life. Henley says, “Sheep are some of the most helpless animals that God created. They can't protect themselves on their own.” David is the sheep and God is the shepherd to protect him. When David proclaims “I shall no want” this statement means God will provide for David, so his needs are meet.…

Sometimes, in sports or in life in general, there are favorites and underdogs. There is a general consensus that the favorite team or player will win but sometimes it`s the underdog that wins and receives all the honor related with that win. This is very similar to what I read about Seabiscuit and what I watched in the video of Jason McElwain. Some people have the ability to transcend their underdog status (ie. Red from Seabiscuit and Jason) and create something very special. In both cases,…

The Book of Ruth is a refreshing story after the Book of Judges, as it ends with the 25th verse of 21st chapter: ”In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes”. But, the book of Ruth shows God’s perfect plan of redemption. The story has been set in a dark time of Israel’s history. The main characters are ‘Elimelech’ meaning ‘My God is King’, ‘Naomi’ which means ‘Pleasant’, ‘Mahlon’ which means ‘Sick’, ‘Unhealthy’. ‘Chilion’ means ‘puny’, ‘pining’,…

1. Introduction The origin of the name “Psalms” comes from the Hebrew language. In Hebrew the word “Psalms” means "praises" and in Greek it means "songs."
