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. 410 0$aJournal for the study of the Old Testament.$pSupplement series ;$v242. 606 $aKings and rulers$xBiblical teaching 615 0$aKings and rulers$xBiblical teaching. 676 $a222.4092 676 $a222/.4092 700 $aNoll$b K.
