Rarely do I finish listening to an Audible and have the urge to start back at the beginning and hear it again. Before experiencing Uvi Poznansky’s The David Chronicles, I had basic knowledge of David, the Old Testament shepherd turned king, his many wives and concubines, his obsession with Bathsheba, and his defeat of Goliath. This trilogy expanded my generalities into an intimate connection with David’s heart and mind.

I am in awe at how Pozanansky’s first person narrative transforms the distant legend into a flesh and blood man.

During my first listen, I raced from moment to moment taking in one amazing insight after another. Now, I will return to the Audible and listen in sections, allowing time to reflect about how David’s choices are still relevant today. The David Chronicles will make the perfect, long-lasting gift for several of my friends.

Why am I compelled to listen again? I could bullet hundreds of fascinating revelations. Here are a few:

· As if David’s mind is under a microscope, he discloses rich details such as his first night with his bride, Michal, paid for by giving her father one hundred Philistine foreskins.
· To make Bathsheba his own, David contrives to have her husband killed.
· David nonchalantly states his reflections about having no objections to slave labor.
· When David’s son, Amnon, rapes his own sister, David faces the horrible responsibility of dealing with his son’s sin and his daughter’s victimization.
· In his final years, David agonizes over his regrets and unresolved dilemmas such as how to forgive his son Absolom for murdering his other son, Amnon.
· David’s longing to enjoy his lyre-playing and psalm-composing is ever present in spite of the political demands on his life.
· His longings, blunders, triumphs and frailties constantly echo those of our leaders of today.
