David the King
G. Schmitt
The retelling of the Biblical story of King David from his rise to power to his death. David, the spoiled shepherd poet who climbed into royal favor, betrayed King Saul and his people, took over the throne, ruled Israel in her march from primitivism to the brink of decadence, and declined among the dissensions, rapes, assassinations, and revolutionary plots of his children, then sought and found his God at last, it is one of mankind's archetypical legends. Miss Schmitt has chosen to tell it not as a historical or Biblical but a psychological novel.
