Anxiety Destroyed Saul

Introduction In my journey with the Daily Audio Bible through the Bible in one year, we’ve slogged through the miserable period of the Judges of Israel (where we’re reminded repeatedly that everyone did what was right in their own eyes–does that sound familiar?) and reached the strange story of the first two kings of Israel: Saul and then David. One odd thing about this story is that Saul seemed…

"David and Saul" by Julius Kronberg (1885)

Kristian Zahrtmann (Danish, 1843-1917) David at the Palace of Saul, 1878 King Saul was the first king of the Israelites chosen by Jehovah. He was disobedient and rebellious, so Jehovah said he would be replaced. Jehovah already had a replacement in mind, David. But David had to wait to rule, which was when Saul was killed.

How do you reconnect with God when you don’t enjoy reading the Bible?

god is in appetites, in sex, in folding napkins, in the bible (read it again, this time with tenderness), in death rites and in mourning, in killing parts of yourself, in the bible (read it with violence now), in the sun on your face, in the man in your lap, in the bible (it is its turn to read you)

Demon David and Jonathan part 2 lol

/ King David and King Jonathan in Saul’s visions

I quickly drew their designsss 😈 I partly made them so I can draw their designs loll. But this is the version Saul sees David and Jonathan as in his very fun visions in the book. Btw, everyone Saul knows is some kind of twisted version of themselves whenever he’s asleep. Like for Samuel, he’s hella terrifying, appearing as a looming cloaked figure who towers over Saul, spewing rebuke after rebuke.

David doesn’t wear much except for some jewelry and a small cloth around his waist. Jonathan wears long garments with him decorated in the feathers he uses for his arrows.

I find it funny when I imagine Saul already so done with dealing with them in his reality, and in his sleep he gets his ass kicked by demonic versions of David and Jonathan and he can never catch a break 💯 I mean, that’s basically how half of the book is, just Ze’ev showing Saul a powerpoint slideshow of all his trauma one by one lmaoo /j

Anyways, when I’ve been thinking about David and Jonathan for a bit, I just now remembered their role in the Book of Saul, and I needed to draw them once more✨

I'm spamming your asks, I'm sorry but can we talk about this painting of Saul and David?! (I'm not an art person or bible person but pgfttffg..)

How soft it looks, with blankets and Saul's leg and robe(?) hanging over the edge with how relaxed he is, them having eye contact and hands/fingers are so detailed+the final fact I found this painting with it being the trope picture for "Lover and Beloved" in tv tropes... it's just really pretty and warm.

It's the Babylonian twink! At least, that's what this painting is called here on Tumblr!

Yeah, some scholars push the idea of David and Saul being lovers, and the art depicting them is either like this… or showing Saul being completely done with David.

A detail I really like in this painting is how Saul has one leg dangling in the air and is softly holding a spear. It suggests that Saul is ready to pin David against the wall but is still enjoying the music he creates.
