KINGDAVID

The youngest of eight brothers. A shepherd from Bethlehem who killed a lion and a bear with his bare hands before he was fourteen. Anointed by the prophet Samuel while his own family forgot to call him in from the field. The crown was never handed to David. He forged it in his own hands, step by step.

David does not fight with rage. He fights with precision, patience, and a faith so deep it looks like total mastery. When others charge, he reads the field. When others freeze, he strikes. He took Jerusalem not through siege but through a water shaft no one else could see. He broke the Philistines not by charging but by listening — waiting for a sound in the treetops that no other commander would have waited for.
