Average people often imagine kings,heroes and great
warriors as superhuman creatures who are always
perfect,who are able to see over their realms,whose
feelings are adapted to the reality and the needs of
their countries.However,they are only human beings
with average problems,average feelings.They can be
talented children,brave soldiers,great artists,but
they can feel love,jealousy,pain,furthermore hunger
and tiredness.
They grow old and they have to die in the end,just as
any other people in the world.
This book describes a great king,David,from the Old
Testament,from a human point of view.It especially
wants to underline that in spite of his great
deeds,his talent,his heroism,he is only a human being
and cannot escape his fate.
The king even agrees that"...one event happens to us
all...",still he dares to challenge God''s wrath,he
dares not to speak to Him. Finally,he has to realize
that everything was in vain,that his only companion
on his deathbed and after it cannot be anyone else.
This book should be especially useful to students of
American Literature or History of the biblical
times,or anyone else who are interested in an average
man''s life happened to be a king.
