 Reading Group Guide | King David by Jonathan Kirsch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
David is shown to be a liar and a trickster, as when, threatened by an enemy king, he feigns madness to save his own life.
Ironically, the glory that is heaped upon David tends to obscure the flesh-and-blood man. David is depicted in the oldest biblical passages as thoroughly mortal, which is to say that he is susceptible to all of the flaws and failings, all the sins and short-comings, that afflict ordinary human beings.
David is capable of embodying contradictory qualities at the same time--courage and cowardice, spiritual ecstasy and sexual frenzy, lofty statesmanship and low cunning and deceit--and the Bible confirms that he suc-cumbs to his basest impulses as often as he answers to the angels of his higher nature.
