The story of the emperor: the story of King David of Israel

Introduction: David means "dear" and "Meng Ai". The second king of the United Kingdom of Israel. A unified kingdom of Israel was established around 1000 BC, with Jerusalem as its capital. Known as the best king in Israeli history.

According to the Bible, in ancient times, there was no state in Israel, and tribal affairs were managed by indigenous teachers. When Samuel, a local teacher, was old, he set up a king for the people at the request of the elders of Israel. This king is his son Saul. The State of Israel was founded.

But Samuel soon rejected Saul and regretted making him king of Israel. The Lord God said to Samuel, Since you have rejected Saul as king of Israel, don't grieve for him any more. Now that you have filled your horn with oil, I will send you to see Jesse of Bethlehem. Because I will choose one of his sons as king. ?

So Samuel came to Bethlehem in Judah and invited Jesse and his sons to eat the meat. Jesse asked his seven sons to pass by Samuel, but Samuel didn't like any of them.

Samuel asked Jesse, Are all your sons here?

Jesse replied:? There is also a small one. He is a shepherd's doll. ?

Samuel asked Jesse, Send someone to find him. If he doesn't come, we won't eat today ?

So Jesse called his little son. He is a shepherd boy, and his name is David. I saw him red-faced, with fine features and handsome appearance.

And the Lord said to Samuel, It is he; get up and anoint him. ?

So Samuel anointed David with the horn of oil. From that day on, the spirit of the Lord greatly touched David. Samuel got up and went back to Ramah after anointing David.

The spirit of the Lord left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. Saul's servants gave him advice, saying, Now an evil spirit from God is troubling you. Adults should find someone who is good at playing the piano to exorcise adults. ?

I heard that there was a shepherd boy who was good at playing the piano in Bethlehem, Judah, so Saul sent for him. This shepherd boy is David. Saul fell in love with him at the first sight and told him to play the piano to exorcise demons. Saul felt relaxed and happy when he heard the piano. After that, David sometimes stood in front of Saul and sometimes went back to Bethlehem to feed his father.

Saul often led Israel to fight the Philistines. This time, the Israelites camped in the valley of Elah, and the Philistines camped in Ephraim. The two sides are arranged across a valley. A brave general named Goliath came to Israel to challenge him. He shouted, What are you doing waiting in line outside? Is it for the Philistines? Am I not a philistine? Why not? Are you not Saul's servants? Pick someone and ask him to come to see me. If he dares to hit me and kill me, we will be your servants. If I defeat him and kill him, you will be our servants and serve us. ?

Goliath came out every day to curse, which shocked all Israel. When David heard that the man abused the Israelites in various ways, he couldn't help asking people around him: Who is this uncircumcised man? People nearby told David that his name was Goliath, and he had been cursing here for 40 days in a row, and no one dared to fight. ?

David continued to ask the people next to him: What if someone goes out and hits him? What good will it do if he wins?

The man said to David, this will be a great benefit. Whoever kills Goliath will get a reward from the king, exempt his family from taking food as a policeman, and even give him the princess.

So David went to King Saul and asked for a decisive battle with Goliath. When King Saul saw him when he was young, he thought he was talking nonsense. David said that he looked after his father's sheep, and sometimes when lions and bears came, he killed them all, not to mention a Goliath. King Saul was very moved when he heard such a statement. He said to David, well, you can go out and play. May God be with you! ?

David fought bravely and tactfully with Goliath, and finally killed him and cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that all the mighty men were dead, they fled. The Israelites shouted and pursued them as far as the gates of Gath and Ekron. The slain Philistines fell in pieces on the road.

David came to Saul with Goliath's head, and all the people and his servants were glad. Among them, Jonathan, Saul's son, is the happiest. He loved David as much as his own life, so they became brothers.

When Saul, David and all the Israeli troops came back from the battlefield successfully, the women came out of their homes, cheering, beating drums and singing and dancing to meet King Saul. The women sang in chorus:

Saul killed Qian Qian!

David definitely killed someone!

Hearing such lyrics, Saul was very unhappy and said angrily, Whose eulogy is this? Give me Qian Qian, it will be absolute David, leaving only the throne to him! ?

From then on, Saul stopped loving David and planted the seeds of jealousy in his heart. The seeds of jealousy took root in Saul's heart. In order to keep the throne, he decided to get rid of David.

The next day, Saul was talking nonsense at home, saying that he was possessed by a demon and wanted to listen to the piano. David played the piano as usual to exorcise him. Saul is not interested in listening to the piano. He thought to himself, I'm going to pierce David with a gun and nail him to the wall? Thinking about it, he picked up the gun and suddenly stabbed David! David dodged, jumped aside, and the tip of his gun fell empty. David put down the piano and stepped aside. Saul pushed him away, pointed the gun at David's heart and stabbed him again! David rolled over and dodged the second shot.

When the assassination failed, Saul was afraid of being assassinated, so he stopped leaving David to play the piano and sent him away and made him commander.

David is very clever and deeply loved by the public. This made Saul even more uneasy. He thought it would be better to let him die at the hands of the Philistines. Saul called David and said to him, I want to give my eldest daughter, Milla, to you, but you must fight bravely for me.

David said, how dare I be the son-in-law of the king? I really dare not climb high. ?

When Milla was old enough to get married, Saul gave her to someone else. Someone told Saul that his second daughter Michal fell in love with David. The news brightened his heart, so he ordered his personal servant to say this in front of David. The king is very satisfied with you. All his servants like you, so you should be the king's son-in-law. ?

David said: I am a poor and humble person. It is not easy to be the king's son-in-law! ?

The servant told Saul what David had said. Saul said, This time, you tell David that the king wants nothing but 100 the Philistine's ear. ?

When David heard this, he led his men to kill the enemy on the appointed date, killed 200 Philistines and gave all his ears to the king. So Saul gave his daughter Michal to David as his wife.

People respect David more because he is braver than other servants every time he leads troops to fight. This made Saul even more uneasy. In public and in private, he was bent on killing David. In this case, David fled to Nob alone and got food and Goliath's knife from Ahimelech the priest. For Dojo the Edomite told King Saul that eighty-five men, women and children, cattle, sheep and donkeys of Ahimelech's family in the city of Nob had been killed. Only Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, fled to David and followed him in the days to come.

After being recognized, David, who fled from Noble to take refuge in King Aji of Gath, pretended to be crazy, escaped Aji's eyes and ears, and went to Dualan Cave. His father, his family and those persecuted by Saul gathered around David, and about 400 people made David their leader.

Soon, David led all the people into Harry's forest through Mizpah. I heard that the Philistines attacked Keira, and David defeated the Philistines and rescued the residents of Keira. When Saul learned the whereabouts of David and his followers, he surrounded the city of Keira in an attempt to catch David. David and 600 followers fled from Kaila to Mount Hakkila in the south of the West Buddha Wilderness. Saul followed 3000 chosen men to the wilderness. Sleep in the trench camp at night, and Marshal Abner and others sleep around. David and Abishai sneaked up to Saul and took his gun and water bottle, but he didn't notice at all. David and his men stood on the top of the hill in the distance and called Abner, because he didn't protect their king Saul. David took the gun and water bottle from Saul's head to show that he didn't mean to hurt him. This moved Saul, who admitted his sin and promised not to hurt David again. David led the people from Hakkila to the arabah south of the wilderness of Maon, and from the arabah to the wilderness of Engidi.

Later, Saul once again led 3000 chosen men to follow David to the wild sheep cave, and Saul went in to defecate. Unexpectedly, David and his followers are hidden in the depths of this hole.

The follower said to David:? Look, Saul is here alone, and he's in your hands! It's up to you to catch or kill. Come on, don't let him get away! ?

The deeper and darker the hole was, Saul could see nothing when he went in. David looked out from the depths and got a panoramic view of people's actions. David crept over and quietly cut off Saul's robe, while preventing his followers from hurting him. Saul unconsciously got out of the hole and went on his way.

David came out of the cave, looked at Saul's back and shouted, my Lord, the king! ?

Saul turned and saw David prostrate before him. David said to Saul, why do you listen to greedy words and say that David wants to hurt you? If I want to hurt you, I won't miss this opportunity today. You went into the cave and fell into my hands. Someone told me to kill you, but I loved you. I didn't touch a hair of your head, just cut your skirt? Look, this is your skirt! I cut your skirt and didn't kill you, so I didn't betray you maliciously. Although you are after my life everywhere, I can't bear to hurt you. The ancients said that evil comes from the wicked. May the Lord judge between you and me and avenge me on you! O king of Israel, after whom have you come out? Just chasing a Reservoir Dogs and a flea. Please, my king, let me live at your feet.

These heartfelt words that make people cry can touch people with a heart of stone. Saul said to David, is this your voice, my son David? He kept crying. You are more righteous than me, because I treat you evil, but you treat me well. I fell into your hands today, but you refused to kill me. If a person meets an enemy, how can he leave safely? God bless you! I know very well that you will be the king of Israel and Israel will be indestructible in your hands. Now I only ask you not to cut off my descendants and not to ruin my name. ?

So David vowed to be kind to Saul and his descendants forever. After speaking, they broke up.

When Saul returned, he continued to attack the Philistines. In the last battle, on Mount Gilboa, his three sons were killed at the same time, and Saul was shot with several arrows and seriously injured. In order to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy and being humiliated, Saul ordered his men to stab himself to death, but the man did not dare to do so. Saul grabbed the weapon, squatted on the blade, drank the blade and died, a heroic death.

Later, Saul's body was brought back by the warriors and buried under the weeping willow tree.

David succeeded to the throne of the king of Israel. He was 30 when he became king. David reigned for 40 years? He reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, David lives in Zion.

In Ansan's guarantee, the guarantee is the city of David. Build a palace here, choose a temple, and choose a concubine.

David sent troops abroad every year. He sent Joab, the commander in chief, to besiege Rabbah, the capital of the Ammonites. Joab had a general named Uriah under his command. Uriah went to war and left his wife Bathsheba at home.

When the sun goes down, Bathsheba bathes in spring water at the foot of Mount Zion outside David. Unexpectedly, her body blocked a person's sight. This man is King David of Israel.

David was walking on the terrace of the palace when he saw a beautiful woman taking a bath under a clear spring and weeping willows? Who is that woman? David sent someone to inquire, only to know that the beautiful woman was Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite.

David sent someone to take her into the palace. Bathsheba came to the palace and was deeply loved by David. David kept her in the harem for the night, and she went home quietly. A few days later, Bathsheba came home and found herself pregnant, so she quickly sent someone to tell David.

In order to solve this problem, David sent someone to the battlefield and said to the marshal Joab. Send Uriah the Hittite to me. ?

So Joab sent Uriah to David. What did David say to Uriah? He just asked casually, what about Joab? How about a chariot? How was the war? David said to Uriah, Go home and wash your feet. ?

But Uriah didn't come home. He sleeps outside the palace gate with the king's servant. Someone told David: Uriah didn't go home to sleep. ?

David said to Uriah, you must be very tired when you come back from the battlefield. Why don't you go home?

Uriah said to David, How can I go home? Israeli soldiers fight outside and live in tents at night. Marshal Joab and his men camped in the wild. How can I go home to eat, drink and reunite with my wife? I swear before my Lord the king that I will never go back. ?

In that case, David had no choice but to let him do it. Uriah slept outside the palace gate all night.

David got up in the morning and said to Uriah, don't go back to the battlefield today, go tomorrow! ? The king entertained Uriah, told him to eat and drink in front of him, and made him as drunk as a fiddler. He was drunk and didn't go home. He stayed with the servant that night.

Uriah stayed in Jerusalem for two nights and never came home.

On the third morning, David sent Uriah away, and when he left, he gave him a letter to give to Marshal Joab. Marshal Joab opened the letter and read it. It says: Send Uriah to a dangerous place, and you will retreat and kill him. ?

Joab did as the king said. When we besieged the city, we found that there were warriors in the enemy's place, so we sent Uriah to rush there! As a result, the warriors in the city came out to fight back, and Uriah and several others rushed up to beat off the enemy and chased the city gate. At this time, an arrow was shot from the city, and several people in front were shot down, one of whom was Uriah. Uriah fell and his blood was spilled on the battlefield.

Marshal Joab sent messengers back to Jerusalem to the king's palace. As Joab told him before he left, he played for David. The enemy is stronger than us. They fought back from the city, and we pursued them to the city gate. At this time, someone shot an arrow in the city, killing several soldiers, and Uriah the Hittite also died. ?

David said to the messenger, Go back and tell Joab not to be sad about this. The sword has no eyes, and it is uncertain whether it will devour one person or another. All you have to do is try your best to attack the city and break it! ?

When Uriah's wife Bathsheba heard that Uriah had died, she was very sad and wept bitterly for many days. When the days of mourning passed, David sent someone to take her to the palace and she became the king's wife.

When Nathan the prophet heard this, he came to the palace in Jerusalem and said to David. There are two people in a city, one is rich and the other is poor. The rich have many cattle and sheep, and the poor have nothing but a little ewe. Lamb grew up with his son in a poor family, ate and drank, slept in his arms, and treated him like a child. A guest came to the rich man's house. The rich are reluctant to slaughter one of their own cattle and sheep for their guests, but they kill the poor lamb for their guests. ?

After listening to Nathan the prophet, David hated the rich man very much. He said to Nathan, I swear, whoever did this deserves to die! He should repay the lamb four times, because he has no mercy in doing so! This man is really hateful! ?

The prophet pointed to David and said, You are such a person! You killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword of the Ammonites and married his wife. You will be punished for doing so! ?

David regretted it too late. He said with a sigh. I am guilty! ?

After the prophet Nathan left, Uriah's child fell ill, very ill. David prayed to God for the child and fasted. He lay on the ground all night and didn't go out? On the seventh day, the child died.

David really got what he deserved.

Later, David's wife Bathsheba gave birth to another son and named him Solomon. Later, Solomon succeeded David to the throne and became King Solomon of Israel.
