Stephen De Young about some of the stranger parts of David's story that don't make it into Sunday school lessons. They talk about why God ordered the destruction of the Amalekites, how giants ended up fighting for the Philistines, and whether David and Goliath were actually related. It's a fascinating look at the biblical world through an Orthodox lens.All the links: X: https://x.com/NathanJacobsPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hSskUtCwDT40uFbqTk3QSApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nathan-jacobs-podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenathanjacobspodcastSubstack: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/Website: https://www.nathanajacobs.com/Academia: https://vanderbilt.academia.edu/NathanAJacobs00:00:00 Intro 00:02:53 David as an outcast 00:14:50 The preserved traditions surrounding David 00:23:59 Taking text and tradition to turn it into story 00:31:27 Sunday school David — fact or fiction? 00:51:14 The destruction of the Amalekites 01:15:39 Samuel 01:23:57 Divine regret and foreknowledge 01:32:40 Are David and Goliath cousins?
