Per our discussion in class Thursday, there is a difference of perspective from Kings to Chronicles.  I have been wondering more and more the last few days why it is that we teach the Kings version of David, but yet have the view of David from Chronicles.  There is no doubt God used David in mighty ways, but some would elevate David to a place that scripture does not and that is obviously dangerous.  So how did we get here, why is David made out to be such a hero?  Why do we elevate him as someone we should emmulate and possibly miss that the part of the story we should take, which is God’s grace even with a scoundrel!
