Ep. 49: The Story of King David (Part One: Rise to Monarchy)

King David was anointed as the second king of Israel by the prophet Samuel and is considered the archetype of the Jewish king who earned the mantle of monarchy for his descendants forever. He authored the Psalms, which until this day are the ultimate manifestation of the Jewish soul yearning for its Creator and praying and beseeching Him for mercy. In part one of our treatment of this transcendental figure, we follow David’s rise to monarchy as chronicled in the Book of Samuel and intersperse it with lessons and insights and more details from the Talmud.
