THE AGONY OF DAVID

Anthony E. Gallo
This two-act tragedy of
faith and sin is totally based on the life of David, second king of Israel, and
pivotal to the two Davidic religions, Christianity and Judaism. David, once a
shepherd boy and now the mighty King of Israel, rules the entire region after
being crowned King of Israel
in 1010 BCE. He has put together a kingdom against all odds. Even
his enemies admit that he is God’s chosen. But this providentially endowed
military and political genius, poet, spiritual, harpist, sportsman, and dancer
is beset by tragedy. This husband of eight carefully chosen wives and
father of seventeen children has proven to be a less than satisfactory father
and husband, and while called upon to be the first to create a kingdom for God
on earth, has incurred God’s wrath. His is a life of faith and struggle
reflected by conflicts with his God, political and military
enemies, family of origin, King Saul, wife Michel,
and children, Amnon, Abijah, Tamar, and Absalom. THE AGONY OF
DAVID attempts to show how ultimately David must face the tragic consequences
of his decisions, but in the end is sustained by a remarkable faith and
strength of inner character.
