came to David (II. Samuel, 7th chapter). The story of Bathsheba was doubtless not unknown in Jerusalem the moral sense of the people found expression through Nathan, who by means of a parable boldly rebuked David. At the death of the first son born to Bathsheba, we have in David's words of grief, "I shall go to him but he shall not return to me," the first declaration of immortality.

The story is told of Absalom's flight to the court of his grandfather, the king of Geshur. For three years he was banished, then for two years he was excluded from court, for David could show severity even to his beloved son.

Some years must have elapsed before the closing scene of David's life. We see him now in the feebleness of old age, kept within the palace, nursed by a young damsel of Shunem, named Abishag.

Nathan has to call to his memory his promise to Bathsheba that her son, Solomon, should reign after him. (I. Kings 1:21. ) The old king attended at once to seeing that Solomon was placed on the royal mule by Nathan, 2adok and Benaich, and at his command conducted to the spring of Gihon and solemnly proclaimed king.

David, whose "heart was perfect with Jehovah," reigned seven years and six months in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
