The
King and Prophet David was a
forefather by flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ. The youngest son of Jesse, in
his youth David shepherded a flock of sheep that belonged to his father. He
was distinguished by his deep faith, and he zealously fulfilled the will of
God. Thus, during the time of an invasion of the Philistines he vanquished in
single combat the giant Goliath, which decided the outcome of the war in favor
of the Israelite people. Having endured many wrongs from king Saul, who saw
him as a favorite of the people and his rival also, David displayed his own
decency and magnanimity. Twice having had the possibility to kill Saul, he
did not. After Saul and his son perished, David was proclaimed king of the
southern part of the Israelite realm, and after the killing of the second son
of Saul, David became king of all Israel. He built a new capital, Jerusalem
("the City of Peace"), and in it a new tabernacle; his great wish
to build together with the tabernacle a temple was not realized. It was
predicted to him, that his son would build the temple. The life of the
Prophet David was darkened by a grievous falling: he took for himself the
wife of Uriah, and Uriah himself he sent to his death in battle. But he also
gave example of great repentance, humbly and with faith bearing to the
uttermost the sorrows, sent in punishment
|
for
the sins committed. David gave a model for repentance in Psalm 50 [51]. He
died in extreme old age with steadfast faith of the coming into the world of
the promised Divine Redeemer, the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ. In
Divine-services and personal prayers his divinely-inspired
"Psalter" is widely used. The Biblical Books of Kings and
Chronicles tell about him.
Saint
Joseph the Betrothed was descended
from the lineage of King David. In his first marriage, he had four sons and
two daughters. Having become a widower, Saint Joseph led a life of strict
temperance. As an eighty year old elder Saint Joseph was chosen by the
high-priests as a protector of the virginity of the Most Holy Mother of God,
who had taken a vow of virginity. An angel announced to him about the
Incarnation through her of the Son of God. Saint Joseph was present during
the worship of the new-born divine infant by the shepherds, and also by the
Magi. On the orders of the angel he fled with the Mother of God and the infant
Jesus into Egypt, saving them from the wrath of king Herod. In Egypt he lived
with the Virgin Mary and the Infant, earning his livelihood by work as a
carpenter. Saint Joseph died at about 100 years old.
