David's Politics

"David's Politics: Servant, Rebel, King" evaluates what we can learn about politics by studying David's life as presented in the Books of Samuel and the first two chapters of 1 Kings. Paul Abramson follows David's life as a servant to King Saul, a rebel against Saul, and as king, and shows that he has considerable political skill in all three stages. Throughout most of this account David displays remarkable political sagacity, and more can be learned studying his life than that of any other king of Israel or Judah.
