DAVID A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART: PART 3 - David Jon Hill - August 1978

David Jon Hill

This article was written in Israel, where I visited many of the sites associated with David's life Bethlehem, David's birthplace, and the surrounding hills where he tended his father Jesse's sheep. The wilderness where he fled from Saul. The cities of the Philistines where David sought refuge from Saul, yet learned Philistine strategy so he could remove their stranglehold on Israel when he became king. Hebron, where David's forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, were buried with their wives, Sarah, Rebeccah and Leah - also the city from which David reigned over the tribe of Judah during his first seven years as king. And, of course, Jerusalem, which David made the capital city of Israel 3000 years ago. Jerusalem, where David dreamed of and designed the Temple of God which his son Solomon built. Jerusalem, site of David's sins against God in the tragic episode with Bathsheba and Uriah. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
