This
Book is the history of the reign of
King David. It
relates his victories, the growth of the prosperity of

and his reformation of the state of religion. With these events
are recorded the grievous sins he committed, and the family as
Well as public troubles with which he was punished. We here meet
with many things worthy of imitation, and many that are written
for our warning. The history of
King David is given in
Scripture
with much faithfulness, and from it he appears, to those who
fairly
Balance his many virtues and excellent qualities against
his faults, to have been a great and good
Man.
