King David: Seed of Jesse

   
   "King David:  Seed of Jesse"
   
   Little brothers, like Joseph, are kinda bold in their multi-hued coats; thus, thrown to die or sold into slavery; next, shave their heads, and embrace the salacious scold of exile--you'll get more.   
   Little David, seed of Jesse, a little brother made fun of for being a mere shepherd, yet they said of King Saul, who stood head and shoulders above the rest:  "Saul has slain his thousands; David his tens of thousands."  And even though Saul attempted to kill David--David writes love poetry for his King after Saul fell on his own sword, not to be slayed by Philistines.
   King David, as I read on the Internet and hear the babble of pagan shrinks, is described as bi-polar, OCD, and having other psychiatric conditions, being in a psychotic state of love for God, and God alone.  He loved God more than any other; specifically, shared God's Heart.  
   And he does sing:  "God does not chide forever against those that fear him."  And he does this to reassure us, of God's love if answered, as the Virgin Mary quotes him, as does Her Son, more or less; indeed, Christ's Words are plays on the Old Testament, with a little new wine mixed in, speaking in parables, so only the chosen and called will comprehend.
   King David wrote of venereal disease, loins burning, yet through the herb and mysticism, he was made healed, until freezing, more or less, to death.
  Bat Sheva, or as we say:  Bathsheba, was more than his lover.  He assisted in the mortal destruction of her first man, Uriah, and King David paid in Aces.  Absalom against him, attempting to rape a sister, his brothers pulling him off.
   But through sin, endurance, but most of all--AN UNCANNY LOVE for GOD, King David is at the top of the list.  Who said the meek will inherit the Earth?  The metaphorical Son of David, Christ, but King David, His allegorical father said it first.
   And on Saint Joseph's time of celebration in Catholicism--we sing:  "The Son of David LIVES forever."  And He does, for His world is not of this world.
