The King David

I always questioned about the truthfulness of the bible. Of course I read it. Bloody tough going, specially some parts where everyone is begetting someone and then someone and so forth. After a few months; lieing in my bath I managed to go through it. Good reading as a story, if you can rumble through the Our father etc etc. So here I am in St agnes watching this documentary about the bible and asking questions about the truth in it. First is King David. 1000 BC. According to the Jerusalem tour guides and the bible.

There was a sheep herder called Jesse. He had 8 sons and the youngest was called David. At the same time there was a Jewish judge and prophet called Samual who was responsible for the anointment of Saul as the King of Israelites. But he felt Saul was not very religious. So he was looking for the next king. And he found David. Rest is easy as David became the king who was supposed to have made the United Kingdom Of Israel by pacifying the clans of Judah and Israel.

So Jews have been digging the Palestine area for 150 years trying to find out more about King David through science ie. archeology. The debate is on. Depending whome you ask all are different. There are Zionists who believe in an Israel Empire yep you got it called United Kingdom.

well there were two tribes of Jews. One in the North area called Israel and another in the south called Judah. In the 1000 BC The Notherners were strong and by 700 BC the Southerners were strong. The Hebrew bible was written by the Southerners and that is where king David supposed to have come from. So even though David did not exist the writers undermined another Northern King called Omri and made a fairy story King David and his son Soloman who did not exist really.

If you don't believe me just read up on King Omri and Samaria. I don't say that the Bible is wrong. It is a religious book, but not a historical document.
