Who Was King David? 

I love learning about people of the Bible

It reminds me of King Arthur stories, in the sense that he was depicted as a hero an savior in his youth, and later stories can be viewed as embarrassing or humanizing, but at the end legacy is intact

This guy really knows his stuff

The reason I want to visit Toronto is to go to Centre Place in person. Thank you so much for your content

This guy, is a bloody biological living encyclopedia.

David means "beloved," a beautiful name. I really love and envy this sweet man, our beloved teacher, who does such a good job. I taught mostly in violent schools, so I am a little broken. He is so lucky to have such nice and polite and sometimes silly students like us

I enjoy all the lectures about learning..

Good work

Anyone know why the meetups are in person lately? Going to one has been on my bucket list

It's really weird that david was considered the underdog in that fight. He was used to killing wolves with that sling on a daily basis. He basically took a gun to a knife fight and somehow it's a big surprise that he won? It doesn't make sense at all.

Respect love and gratitude 🙏 pushing forward makes me stronger. The truth resonates. The truth set me free . You can’t handle the truth. A few good men.

Are there any newer/current postings?

This was interesting.

Travel show Pastor! It will be a hit.... looking forward to this lecture and next weeks. Keep them coming!

I would say that it's pretty obvious what we are seeing between Samuel/kings vs Chronicles. Samuel/Kings is Anti-monarchy; anti-house of David Chronicles is written to justify Zerubabel as high priest ; but also ingenting to replace the other previous history. It's best to understand these things in the sense that the Bible in the sense that we think of it did not exist in Jerusalem at any. The biblos existed in Egypt; but for all intents and purposes the Jewish Canon is established after Christians establish a canon

Thanks!

Question for King David: Which part of "Do not covet thy neighbor's wife" didn't you understand?

Is this Hamer's last lecture/posting?

Thanks for the video! I suggest one about freemasonry.

There is/was a replica of this statue in Louisville, KY., just outside the Louisville Slugger museum!!!

Hello Mr. Hamer. You mentioned DWD and pronounced it almost as the Muslims pronounce Dahood, my name David in Arabic which I write with 4 Arabic letters and there being no equivalent to the English letter V. While working in the Saudi Arabian oil industry I learned of another story of David. It goes that, just as in Saudi Arabia today where any citizen can get an audience with the King, in the time of King David there was one day a line of subjects waiting to see the King. Two herders who had a dispute did not want to wait so scaled the palace wall into David's chambers. When David entered they apologized but he said "fine. What is your dispute?" They iterated their business dispute to which David became irate. He lectured them about 'real' problems, quickly building mountains in the air. When he looked down they were gone. Then David prostrated himself on the floor and begged God for forgiveness for having failed the test.

Some of the comments here are pretty unintentionally hilarious. “Gay? That’s unpossible! Homosexuality wasn’t invented until the 1960s!” The text is ambiguous, but it’s a reading plenty of well-qualified scholars have defended over the past five decades.

Jesus and the Beloved Disciple (John) is also a parallel to King David and Jonathan.

What is the best book/books for a general audience (or non-scholar) that discusses this lecture material in more detail? Thanks for another great lecture!

2 Tim 4: 2-4 teachers teaching fables ...... …2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 *For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desire* . 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. Mtt 12:36 2 Pt 3:9

Excellent John! I hope you can tackle the Revelation of Peter as well.

I heard there was a secret chord, which David played and it pleased The Lord. But you don't really care for music, do ya? It goes like this: the 4th, the5th, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah...

John, do the 10 Commandments apply to non-Jews? When it comes to character, it seems to be hit or miss with God.

according to Wikipedia: "According to the Babylonian Talmud (Sotah 42b) Goliath was a son of Orpah, the sister-in-law of Ruth, David's own great-grandmother (Ruth → Obed → Jesse → David). Ruth Rabbah, a haggadic and homiletic interpretation of the Book of Ruth, makes the blood-relationship even closer, considering Orpah and Ruth to have been full sisters."

How much of this is established fact? How much is only from your Book?

There's king David , then there's kingvDavuds caravan . One is earthly time set , one is stellar and timeless as time itself .

The kingdom of Judah, according to the Bible, wasn't one tribe, but two - the tribe of Benjamin also was part of the kingdom of Judah.

did the house of david join up with the house of judah

46:53 Absalom’s hair gets caught in the branches of an oak tree. What a curious thing: I wonder what it means. I tend to follow “Hamlet’s Mill”: the characters in the myths and legends might be stand-ins for astronomical events. In my interpretation the tree (like the pillar in Samson’s story) is a symbol for the Earths axis, and the long hair (like in Samson’s story) is a symbol for protuberances / high activity in the sun’s filaments. - But this time the pillar does not tumble (- the Earth’s axis (and / or magnetic pole) does not catastrophically shift and bury the house / ancient civilization). The hair gets caught in the branches of the tree: maybe interaction of CME’s with the geomagnetic field? - But what about the killing with arrows? Comets? Impactors? But that doesn’t make a lot of sense, as the arrows hit the guy with the hair (the sun) and not the tree (the earth), and “kill” him: ending a period of high sun activity with impactors on the sun doesn’t make any sense… - maybe my theories are just stupid. But the story is so unusual, it has to mean something. Who gets his hair tangled up in branches and then get pierced by arrows?!? You don’t make up a story in such a way, without a symbolic meaning. The hair is certainly not just hair, and the oak tree is certainly not just an oak tree. Maybe the hair is just a stand-in for his pride, and the tree a symbol for his family tree / bloodline, and the entanglement and arrows just show the complications in David’s succession in a single picture, kind of retelling the story that was told before condensed to a single painting. Edit: maybe the long hair in the stories is not about sun activity, but about the strength of the geomagnetic field: but that would not make sense, because the violent events are related to long hair, not to short hair. While the violent events in Earth’s history presumably go in sync with a weak geomagnetic field and high solar activity. So long hair more likely is symbolic for higher solar activity. Edit 2: now I wonder about all the stories involving lions: the lion’s mane is probably another symbol for the Corona.

IIRC the most recent archaeology has shown that the destruction layers of Canaanite lowland cities started much earlier on, before Sheshonq's invasion, and could not have been caused by him. This reflects the idea of Judges and the banditry period of David's life, where the great Israeli mythic heroes are always depicted as destroying the armies of one city or another or even the cities themselves (or just robbing people). So unruly proto-Israelite highlanders were already invading the lowlands before Sheshonq came and bandit warlords like "David" would have been common in this time. Additionally, Gibeah, the supposed capital of "Saul", reached a sudden period of prosperity in this same period, then suddenly declined when Sheshonq showed up. The historical version of Saul and David may have been bandit warlords who were raiding Canaanite lowland cities, with Saul having a base of operations in Gibeah and David being nomadic until he captured the forsaken mound that was Jerusalem. Then perhaps Saul screwed up and got himself killed by the Philistines and his "dynasty" later collapsed when Sheshonq invaded. David's dynasty survived by virtue of being too insignificant for Sheshonq to have cared about. Also, Saul's successor's name was Ishbaal. Ishbosheth was a name given by Chroniclers who cleaned up the history and refused to use the theophoric name of Baal, replacing it with a curse word. This was the same thing that happened to Gideon (Jerubaal).

byt dvd is not an interpretation. it means, literally, the house or a house of david. it is a construct of grammar. what else would house next to david mean? it is a translation.

I like how people in the comments don't have an issue with david wife stealing, deliberately having rival lovers killed so he can have his way with women, etc but that he might have also had a male lover. Sure that's the bad thing.

What about Elahan?

The exodus TO Egypt of Jeremiah and many other Jews is rather ironic. Among The Elephantine papyruses is a letter from a priest in Jerusalem about how The Jews there should observe Pesach, but should they have been celebrating it at all considering that they had returned " to the fleshpots of Egypt".

Maybe the first temple was actually in samaria. We have been digging in wrong place.

John, I love your lectures!!! But, answer me this: Abraham, according to the Bible, spent some time living with/among the Philistines. (Genesis 20) Then, either Abraham or Isaac, on another occasion, spent some time with them. (Genesis 26) Then, supposedly, the Philistines initially arrived with the Sea Peoples, some three/four hundred years later!!! (Bronze Age collapse, circa 1200/1150 BCE) Can you give me the correct chronology?

41:01 41:20 The Manner(Manor) of Melchizedek.

The prophecy of Jesus coming from the House of David is always humorous to me. The probability that any Jew was descended from David is something like 99.99 percent. I am interested in where the story of King Saul and Son Jonathon came from -- I suppose we only have speculation.

David was definitely a politician. The idea to buy the threshing floor on the site of Melchizedek's offering location to YHWH was done after the Jebusite offered it to him for conquering Jerusalem was very methodical. Had David built the Temple, no doubt enemies would see it as a goal to conquer. Solomon's wives most certainly were peace treaties. He begins building the Temple shortly after marrying the Pharaoh's daughter. The Jews at Elphantine were actually quite brilliant putting the Temple elsewhere. If only they hadn't sacrificed there, they wouldn't have become the ire of the religious. The correct solution would've been to build it someplace else, not allow sacrifices there, and then rebuild it in the correct location once the world actually wants it on the correct spot.

King David was my Father. Mine

My name is Daniel and I'm President of the King David Fan Club.

I have ancestors, some of whom were wonderful, and some of whom were not. It doesn't mean much.

Holding his sling. Never heard that euphemism before.

That isn’t gay love bro. I have a friend that I love as myself, but not sexually. Come on dude.

Did David exist historically? Since there exist a archaeological evidence which states the name of David and discovered by archaeologists around 1993.

Thats not David.

Who is asking?

He did NOT use ONLY his sling shot to kill…

it’s happening now

Father

I don't think we can all agree that David ever even existed. After learning what I have learned I believe zero. I am not even convinced my parents are my biological parents anymore...

I love how this guy says "Proverbs, Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, etc... we're all claimed to be authored by Solomon ... however none of them were." I'm old enough to remember when all the "experts said without any doubt that David was completely made up and never existed.... only then to find archeological evidence for David.

David was not a pink person

Hi

King david lives in Jamestown ny

I don't suppose you have done anything on the St. Thomas Christians? Hint hint ...

Bathsheba as a literary character is a spectacular creation - by omission - meaning, we only get a little of her in the general story. What is she doing bathing where she can be seen by the King, how old is she, is her mother pouring the water over her body? You can make the story into whatever you want. Is David a fool as a leader and Bathsheba(and her mother) become the true power behind the throne and succeed brilliantly in getting their heir, Solomon, named the next King. Or is it a love story where David and Bathsheba break all the rules to be together, or a plain and hideous rape story of an innocent girl, you get to make it be whatever your imagination comes up with.

I too have experienced a richer love for my brother compared to a woman and we didn’t have to sodemise each other.

Definitely didn't look like that

very interesting theory though

They named him a camp as reparation Goliath r the gentle nations

not lanjedoc but languedoc - pronounce the "g" as in maGoo

The kJV wrote killed the brother of Goliath to fix the contradiction

David, He who fed at my table and sleeps with my daughter , He has robbed me of my God, my people even my children, What else can he take but my crown--- it's no wonder king Saul wanted to kill him

Close friends does not mean gay sex.

Hmm... the story about David and Jonathan thematically very much resembles Homer's account (in Iliad) of relationship between and some events around Achilles and Patroclus. One could be forgiven to conclude that there were links and influences going around Mediterranean 😉.

Wrong!!! The 2 genealogies do not contradict lol one is the genealogy of the father and the other the mother… you should try to understand the text not just regurgitate stuff taught to you in school.

First of all let's start at the beginning David didn't look anything like that statue.

bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣why did you show all these pix of a white man when we all know king david is a african man . this shit is so wierd ...why do we do this???

Seems to me all of the paintings in your presentation are classical. Not of any historical perspective.😮

Thank you for this Interesting & I formative presentation. I viewed a Branch of my Genealogy that went back to 99AD. This line went through England, Scotland, Netherlands etc. But what surprised me, was that there were So Many Kings lol. Almost every small town or city had a King. Now this puts into perspective the Kingdom of David ...

Did he just say Pharaoh Shawshank, °¿°?

Messiah means anointed one, king are anointed so kings are messiah.

He was king of the north and south just as pharaoh was king of upper and lower Egypt . What you have here is the Jewish mysteries my friend and as an initiate i can tell you that a major part is uniting the conscious with the subconscious which is beautifully put in allegory.

Your take... toooo interesting ... Apostles don't die for lies. BOGUS

🏦🇺🇸💸💸💸💵

I don't appreciate the new Bibles they're printing don't have the Old Testament and nothing about David in them David is the best story David is what makes the entire Bible Old and New Testament

we can all agree: david was sometimes based and sometimes cringe

Why not start by saying david didn’t exist in history instead of preaching the bible

Samson and Delia is a much more popular story, but l guess it wasn't situated in Palestine, so it wasn't so cool

Since Jesus was a virgin birth, and not from Joseph then Jesus did not decend from David

Absalom was killed by Joab to avenge Absaloms having set Joabs barley fields on fire.

9:47 Johnathon is really only there for the gay story. The story has no meat or potatoes with the may aspect. If you remove the gay sounding mentions of Jonathon ; you remove him from the narrative

😂me neither it's just to much for me I'm surprised to see u having trouble being u do e this awhile lol sorry as I said having trouble my self ...

Just NO

😂 WHITEAMERIXXX CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE TERMINOLOGY ANGLOAMERICA, WTF IS THAT 😂 SALUDOS ❤❤❤❤

Who was King David? Answer: A sick, twisted creep.

Sampsonite.

God was demonized because of these people in the bible.

I enjoy your videos.....But I have to correct you immensely......This was before your Khazarian ancestors replaced the exiled tribes.....The Davidic bloodline no longer serve the "God" Yahweh since those times....Indeed He, YHVH, Yahweh, Sabaoth is the God of the Christian Bible.....But Generations have reveled that he is in fact, Yaldaboath.....God of this material world, Lucifer, apollo, deceiver, and the god of the Khazarian Jews, Catholics, and Adopted god of the new found Christians....But is Enlil, Zeuz, Samael, Demiurge, Serpent.

Lol ppl kill me, there is nothing that indicates a homosexual relationship between David and Jonathan! If David is a messianic archetype. Jonathan’s Love towards david is an archetype also. Of what? Of THE LOVE we all should have for Christ Yeshua Ha Messhiach. But here comes satan turning it upside down. When i read the story, never in my ignorance did I consider homosexuality between them😂. I thought to myself Jonathan loved his boy David because he was a really good guy a WARRIOR for his ppl. A champion for his ppl . the same guy that didn’t wish to overtake his father Shaul. Ppl are crazy

There IS wisdom to be found in the Bible, but it's largely limited to the teachings of Jesus. The vile & villainous "heroes" of the O.T, not to mention the O.T. brutal, genocidal, "God," are hardly to be admired or emulated. By the way, check out what the early Christian Gnostics had to say about that "God," as opposed to Jesus. They were really on to something, there!

You can find King David in history under a different name... "Prester John"

The great delusion. When will the Europeans rid themselves of this great delusion. You know the stories more than the owners of the history. The Supreme Creator sure know how to mess with the over-bloated ego and feeble minds of humans.

What’s laughable is how these presenters who are so well read can’t do a genuine research and show facts.
