Description
How did a humble shepherd boy become king of ancient Israel? Why did this boy, supposedly chosen by God, have so many stumbles along the way? We explore the story of King David, a flawed but memorable monarch, whose troubled reign sowed the seed for the future dissolution of the kingdom.
