David the Shepherd Boy

Bethlehem’s people watch an old man climb the white road, frightened by the horn in his hand. They do not know that Samuel has come to choose a king—and that Jesse’s youngest son is still out among the sheep.

On the steep hills above Bethlehem, David is the boy his seven older brothers scarcely notice: a shepherd trusted to guard the flock, brave enough to face prowling beasts, and patient enough to master his harp and sling. Then Samuel’s secret visit changes everything. Chosen by God to be king in place of Saul, David must return to his ordinary work while the dangerous truth remains hidden. When Saul’s misery calls for music, the shepherd boy is summoned to the king’s darkened tent—and the gift he has quietly cultivated becomes his first way into a perilous world. What will happen when David’s other skills are needed?
