In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.-Psalm 18:6-19***David was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, descended from Adam and Eve, their son Seth, Seth's great-great-great-grandson Enoch, Enoch's great-grandson Noah the ark builder, Noah's son Shem, Shem's son Arphaxad, Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah, Terah's children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah, Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Adam was the 1st man. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God created Adam on the 6th day, in the beginning. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. David was a psalmist and is recognized as the divinely inspired
writer of Psalm 18 in the Holy Bible. In the Promised Land, before David reigned as king only over the tribe of Judah, and before he ruled over all of the Israelites, David had enemies. David was a young shepherd when the Lord God sent Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi, to Bethlehem to anoint David to reign as king. Saul, the reigning ruler, was from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel and their 2nd and last son Benjamin. After David killed and beheaded Goliath the gigantic Philistine, and David and Jonathan, Saul's son, made a covenant, and the Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, Saul was angry, and wanted to kill David, and became afraid of David, and sent David on missions to get killed, and commanded others, including Jonathan to kill David. Saul's daughter Michal was married to David and helped David escape from their home. Doeg the Edomite, and the people of Ziph, disclosed David's whereabouts to Saul, and the Israelites in Keilah were ready to hand David over to Saul. Wealthy Nabal refused to provide any goods for David and David's men. David fought the Philistines numerous times, and attacked the places wherein the Amalekites, Geshurites, and Girzites (Gezrites) lived, and David fought the Amalekites after the Amalekites captured the wives and children of David and his men. Sometime after the Philistines killed Jonathan and his brothers Malchishua and Abinadab (Ishui?), and Saul's self-inflicted death on the same battled, and the Israelite elders anointed 37-year-old David, David conquered the fortress of the Jebusites, and it became known as the City of David. David victoriously battled the Moabites, and the Ammonites and Syrians (Arameans), and the Edomites. During David's reign, Absalom, the son born to David and Maacah, had himself proclaimed king, and some of David's advisers aligned with Absalom. When David was approximately 70 years old and bedridden, Adonijah, the son born to David and Haggith, plotted to have himself proclaimed king, and some of David's advisers aligned with Adonijah. Over 900 years after Solomon, a son born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
