Jesse Ben David: A Shepherd Of Bethlehem is a historical novel written by James Meeker Ludlow and published in 1907. The story is set in Bethlehem during the time of King David and follows the life of Jesse Ben David, a shepherd who becomes a trusted advisor to the king. The novel begins with Jesse as a young boy, tending his father's sheep in the hills of Bethlehem. When he is chosen to play the harp for King Saul, he catches the eye of the king's son, Jonathan, who becomes his lifelong friend. As Jesse grows older, he becomes a skilled warrior and is eventually chosen by King David to lead his army. Jesse's loyalty to the king is tested when David falls in love with Bathsheba, the wife of one of his soldiers. Jesse is torn between his duty to the king and his loyalty to his friend, Uriah, who is sent to the front lines of battle and is killed. Throughout the novel, Jesse's faith in God is a constant theme, and he is portrayed as a man of great integrity and wisdom. The story also includes many historical details about life in ancient Israel, including descriptions of daily life, customs, and religious practices. Overall, Jesse Ben David: A Shepherd Of Bethlehem is a compelling historical novel that offers readers a glimpse into the world of ancient Israel and the life of one of its most important figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
