King David
The Real Life of the Man Who Ruled Israel
By Jonathan Kirsch

One of the sexiest, wildest male heroes of the Bible is King David. Though you'd never know, seeing his telltale star around the necks of such prissy, sanctimonious born again Jews as Dr. Laura. According to the Bible itself, David's many lovers included both women and men, he's the ancient version of a rock star (besides being a renowned harpist that made both maidens and kings weep with emotion, he's credited with authoring the Psalms-the Greatest Hits of BCE), and he's a proud, handsome exhibitionist who dances naked through the streets of Jerusalem, making the ladies swoon and God smile as he parades with the Arc of the Covenant as it enters the city that bears his name. According to the Books of Samuel and Kings (which author Jonathan Kirsch considers the centerpiece of the entire Bible), David was also a master politician and the most successful military commander that Israel has ever seen. But he had many enemies, including within his own family, and many tribulations for such a lucky, blessed guy. David's charisma, flamboyance and drive remind me a bit of our own former Commander-in-Chief William Jefferson Clinton. Of course, David was far more ruthless in his pursuit of any woman he desired, even going so far as to send Bathsheeba's husband out into the front to certain death just so he could take this legendary bathing beauty as his wife without impediment. He also committed military atrocities along the lines of My Lai, massacring all inhabitants that had the temerity to oppose him. He's a complex figure, this David who stars at the center of the Hebrew Bible, called the Old Testament by the Christians, his fabled bloodline (the Holy Grail?) even extending down to the New Testament through Jesus himself. Author Jonathan Kirsch performs an insightful, absorbing dissection of King David, presenting the blessed, brilliant, sensuous king in all his glory, sexuality, brutality and complexity. Kirsch is also the author of Moses: A Life and The Harlot By The Side Of The Road: Forbidden Tales Of The Bible. This is a guy who knows the dirtiest parts of the Good Book like some guys know their favorite porn mags. Susan M. Block, Ph.D.
