David is portrayed as a deeply human figure, embodying courage, complexity, and vitality. This study by Jacob L. Wright delves into the historical context of David’s narrative, exploring why he is central to the Bible despite the less favorable portrayal by biblical authors. It draws parallels between biblical accounts and war memorials, examining themes of national identity, statehood, and the human condition. The connection between David and Caleb, a valorous Judahite hero, is also analyzed, offering a fresh perspective on their significance in Israel's history.
