His is a complex tale, seemingly designed to explore the human dimension of a traditional motif: divine election and rejection. Through speeches and actions, David is revealed as a man who never quite understands his fate. Why has Saul been rejected and why is David not rejected? If Saul sinned, David sinned boldly. The man, David, through poetic soliloquies (2 Sam. 1.19-27; 22.2-51; 23.1b-7), explores this question.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;242.Kings and rulersBiblical teachingKings and rulersBiblical teaching.222.4092222/.4092Noll K.
