Saul’s pleasure in David vanished quickly as David rose in strength and fame. Saul was pleased with young David, and he became one of Saul’s armor-bearers. Thus, David came into the king’s service (1 Samuel 16:21). And the LORD is with him" (1 Samuel 16:18).
He speaks well and is a fine-looking man.

Saul’s servants suggested a harpist, and one recommended David, saying, "I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. The Bible also says that the Spirit of the Lord departed from King Saul and an evil spirit tormented him (1 Samuel 16:14). So they called the boy in and Samuel anointed David with oil "and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David" (1 Samuel 16:13). The youngest, David, was out tending sheep. Seven of Jesse’s sons passed before Samuel, but God had chosen none of them. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7). The LORD does not look at the things people look at. But God told Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. Samuel thought Eliab, David’s oldest brother, was surely the anointed one. He was the youngest of Jesse’s sons and an unlikely choice for king, humanly speaking. While King Saul was making one mistake on top of another, God sent Samuel to find His chosen shepherd, David, the son of Jesse (1 Samuel 16:10, 13).ĭavid is believed to have been twelve to sixteen years of age when he was anointed as the king of Israel. He was a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:13–14 Acts 13:22)! We are first introduced to David after Saul, at the insistence of the people, was made king (1 Samuel 8:5, 10:1). A collaborative project involving a symposium held in Vienna, Austria and culminating in a publication (The Silents of Jesus in the Cinema ) published by Routledge in 2016.We can learn a lot from the life of David.
'The 'Silents' of Jesus: Representations of the life and passion of the Christ in the early Cinema'.Building on recently completed cataloguing, this project proposes to analyze the interpretation of ancient Hebrew traditions in the glass of various parishes and its local use within the united dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough (CoI), and to facilitate new knowledge transfer and capacity building by means of one-to-one training, seminars and public and published outputs. The project's overall aims are to discover how the legacy of the ancient Jewish Scriptures (e.g.characters like Moses, David, Ruth etc) has been preserved in the stained glass of church buildings and to build capacity within local communities for nurturing an appreciation of their ancient Jewish/Hebrew heritage.Rediscovering Ancient Hebrew Imagery in Irish Stained Glass.The larger project for which funding will be sought through an IRC Laureate or ERC Advanced grant is 'The Bible and Artistic Modernism'. Finally, my work on the Bible in the Arts of the 19th and early 20th centuries which began with my monograph (CUP, 2013) and edited collection (Routledge, 2016) on the Bible and Silent film and was extended to include the Bible and theatre (play and forthcoming book with Nick Johnson, TCD) is now being extended further to include the Bible and stained glass (AHSSBF grant recently awarded and IRC New Foundations Grant recently submitted). The interface of ethics and leadership visible in this work appears in a more fully-fledged form in my current work on King David and Bloodguilt (forthcoming, OUP) which will be followed by a wider project (2021-22) considering the dynamics of kingship and violence in antiquity more generally. Prompted by the perennial importance of leadership in society, my recent work on the Hebrew Bible in its ancient context focuses on the representation of leaders and leadership and specifically the post-exilic figures of Ezra and Nehemiah (see 'PR Publications' for articles and recently published book). Recent articles and the doctoral work I supervise seek to extend my analysis to other Aramaic translations amongst the DSS and I am currently editing a volume whose papers collectively further my argument for including both Greek and Aramaic translations in a larger research project exploring the genesis and development of Bible translation in antiquity. My research is focused in three relatively distinct streams within biblical studies: My recent and current work on the Jewish translation of the Bible in antiquity builds on my monograph in which I argue that the Aramaic version of Job found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls is quite distinctive from other ancient Jewish translations.
