In David the King, his eighth book and sequel to the earlier widely-acclaimed This Man Moses, Dr. Weisfeld, noted spiritual leader, scholar and educator, presents a fascinating study of the life and times of the second Greatest Jew of all time; one of a handful of the most arresting, colorful and influential figures in all human history - the immortal David. Complex and charismatic was he: simple shepherd, conquering hero, romantic lover, perfect friend, just and merciful ruler, prophet and poet (perhaps the greatest that ever lived) whose Book of Psalms "contains the whole music of the heart of man, swept by the hand of his Maker"; father of his country and reverent servant of God, he was also humble, human and compassionate. In his later vivid description of David as viewed in the Bible, Rabbinic post-Rabbinic, Hasidic, Hebrew and Modern Literatures, Poetry and Art the author proves the credibility of the legend: "David King of Israel yet lives and endures."
