Then
Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all
your sons here?” And he said,
“There remains yet the youngest,
but behold, he is keeping the
sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse,
“Send and get him, for we will not
sit down till he comes here.”
(1 Samuel 16:11)
ESV
I went after him and struck him
and delivered it out of his mouth.
And if he arose against me, I
caught him by his beard and struck
him and killed him. Your servant
has struck down both lions and
bears, and this uncircumcised
Philistine shall be like one of
them, for he has defied the armies
of the living God.”
(1 Samuel 17:35,36)
ESV
In the spring of the year, the
time when kings go out to battle,
David sent Joab, and his servants
with him, and all Israel. And they
ravaged the Ammonites and besieged
Rabbah. But David remained at
Jerusalem. It happened, late one
afternoon, when David arose from
his couch and was walking on the
roof of the king's house, that he
saw from the roof a woman bathing;
and the woman was very beautiful.
And David sent and inquired about
the woman. And one said, “Is not
this Bathsheba, the daughter of
Eliam, the wife of Uriah the
Hittite?” So David sent messengers
and took her, and she came to him,
and he lay with her. (Now she had
been purifying herself from her
uncleanness.) Then she returned to
her house. And the woman
conceived, and she sent and told
David, “I am pregnant.” ..
(2 Samuel 11:1-27)
ESV
It was told Joab, “Behold, the
king is weeping and mourning for
Absalom.” So the victory that day
was turned into mourning for all
the people, for the people heard
that day, “The king is grieving
for his son.” And the people stole
into the city that day as people
steal in who are ashamed when they
flee in battle. The king covered
his face, and the king cried with
a loud voice, “O my son Absalom, O
Absalom, my son, my son!”
(2 Samuel 19:1-4)
ESV
Now King David was old and
advanced in years. And although
they covered him with clothes, he
could not get warm. Therefore his
servants said to him, “Let a young
woman be sought for my lord the
king, and let her wait on the king
and be in his service. Let her lie
in your arms, that my lord the
king may be warm.” So they sought
for a beautiful young woman
throughout all the territory of
Israel, and found Abishag the
Shunammite, and brought her to the
king. The young woman was very
beautiful, and she was of service
to the king and attended to him,
but the king knew her not.

leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake. Even though I
walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no
evil, for you are with me; your
rod and your staff, they comfort
me. You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies; you
anoint my head with oil; my cup
overflows. ...

let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and
let us exalt his name together! I
sought the Lord, and he answered
me and delivered me from all my
fears. Those who look to him are
radiant, and their faces shall
never be ashamed. ...
