King David [the real life of the man who ruled Israel]

"A man who possessed every flaw and failing a mortal is capable of, yet he is adored and showered him with many more blessings than did Abraham or Moses. Charismatic, exalted as "a man after God's own heart," he was also capable of deep cunning and bloodthirsty violence. King David is brought to life in this series."@en
"David, King of the Jews, possessed every flaw and failing of which a mortal is capable, yet men and women adored him, and God showered him with many blessings. A charismatic leader, exalted as a man after God's own heart, he was also capable of deep cunning and bloodthirsty violence. Weaving together biblical texts with centuries of interpretation and commentary, as well as the startling discoveries of modern biblical archaeology and scholarship, [the author] brings King David to life with extraordinary freshness, intimacy, and vividness of detail, revealing him in all his glory and fallibility. At the center of this taut, dramatic narrative stands a hero of flesh and blood a man as vibrant and compelling today as he has been for millennia.-Back cover."@en
