King David sees a lady bathing and orders her to come to him despite her being married, and later Bathsheba conceives King David’s son, very similar to Amy and Holland. Rash’s Isaac is a dark twist on the Biblical tale of a child longed for. In the Hebrew Bible in book of Genesis, Abraham and Sarah did not think they could have children, so it was Sarah’s idea for her servant, Hagar, to become impregnated by Abraham so he could father sons. They were successful.
In the novel Song of Solomon, the story of the character Hagar can be significantly compared to the biblical allusion of Sarah’s maid in Genesis 16:2. The name Hagar is connected to the story of Sarah and Abraham. When Sarah cannot conceive a child, she tells her husband Abraham to "go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her." Hagar, Sarah's maid, is not asked about the situation and expected to comply, she conceives Abraham's child and births the child, but then is not allowed to be part of the child's life. Instead, Sarah takes the role of the child's mother.
Israel asks God to give them a king so they can be like the other nations (1 Sam. 8:5, 19-20). So God uses Samuel to appoint Saul, and then David, as the first kings over His people.

Samuel was born in a family of 12 children to parents who were strict Puritans and went to the Old South Congregational Church as members of the Church. Samuel’s family lived in a house on Purchase Street in Boston. Samuel (being brought up in Puritan values he was proud of them and even implied them in his political career. Samuel Adams went to Boston Latin School and he had gotten enrolled to Harvard College in 1736. Adams’ parents wanted him to become a minister, but with time Adams grew more inclined to take up politics as his choice of a career.
Samuel mistakened that Eli was calling his name but when Eli recognized that Samuel was hearing God speak to him, he told Samuel to say "speak, for you servant is listening." God said that He would judge Eli's family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons lacked respect to God. Eli could have but did not kick out his sons or as God said, restrain them. Samuel told Eli everything that the Lord said to him and Eli accepted his consequences and said God's will is not for anyone to change. The Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines.
When reading the book East of Eden by John Steinbeck a few weeks ago, I strongly related to the character Samuel Hamilton. Samuel Hamilton, also referred to as Sam, was given the most barren plot of land in the Salinas Valley. He did not complain about it and still made the most out of it by staying optimistic. Throughout the book, Sam uses his optimism and positive outlook on events most people would consider despairing to guide his friends. Samuel’s optimism personifies how I never give up; even if I am rock bottom, I still try my best.
They were strict Puritans. His mother, Mary Adams, even supported the narrow Calvinist movement. Samuel’s father was a deacon of a Congregational a politician and a businessman.

Samuel was born into a very wealthy family, therefore he got the best education one could get.

1 Samuel 8:5 explains, “The people demanded a king, similar to the kings of the surrounding nations.” Saul was the first king and did not have a righteous heart, so God instructed Samuel to anoint David,

Every covenant God has made with mankind is extremely important, each and every one of them shaping this history of God on earth. David’s covenant is so significant because David shows his amazing faith in God, trusting in Him to build a kingdom, one that cannot be held by a sinner or it will be torn from him, one that is to be secured not by himself but in one of his descendants. The kingdom will not even happen if the descendants of David are unrighteous and rebellious towards God. The kingdom will be established and reign under a descendant of David, God promises that the thrown shall be established forever. Isaiah sees this son of David, a “Prince of Peace” who establish and uphold the kingdom with justice and righteousness.
David was sent by his father to visit his brethren who were in the camp, bring them food, and inquire about their condition. Being there, listen to the challenge of Goliath. The Bible depicts David as a "shepherd," preoccupied with defending his flocks from the attacks of wild beasts, using his talent and with the help of the staff and the sling. David offers himself, before King Saul, as a volunteer to deal with the Philistine leader.
God promised Abraham that He would bless him, and bless all the nations through him. He also promised Abraham land due to his obedience and faith in God. When Abraham obeyed and trusted God, he was credited with righteousness and faith, and consequently delivered from sin by the Lord (Gen
