David is anointed king over all Israel in Hebron, then conquers Jerusalem's stronghold, held by the Jebusites, and makes it his capital, repelling a Philistine attack.
|
|
G-d denies David the Temple's building but promises it to his son, so David gathers materials and plans instead.
|
|
David conquers the Philistines, Moab, and Syria's Hadadezer, extending his rule. He shows kindness to Jonathan's lame son Mephibosheth, then wars against the Ammonites after King Hanun's insult.
|
|
David marries Bathsheba after Uriah dies in battle by his design. Nathan's parable exposes his sin, their first son dies, but Solomon is later born and Rabbah falls.
|
|
Absalom kills his brother Amnon for raping their sister Tamar, later revolts against David, and forces the king into barefoot flight from Jerusalem as his own advisor Ahitophel joins the rebellion.
