King David’s big, dark secret
written by Dean Smith]

There was a big, dark secret in
David’s life that few people are aware of. It’s
not that David tried to keep it secret, but many
of us simply fail to connect the dots.
When we study David’s life, there are a
number of Biblical passages that at first read
seem quite puzzling. One such passage is 1
Samuel 16:1-13.
God had just rejected Saul as king of Israel and
commissioned the prophet Samuel to anoint
one of the sons of Jessee of Bethlehem as the
next king (v 1). Samuel approached the elders
of Bethlehem and arranged the meeting. Once
Jessee and his sons had gathered, Samuel
quickly realized none of the boys standing
before him was the one God had chosen.
Puzzled, Samuel asked if there were any other
sons and was told the youngest, David, was
attending the flock. Samuel ordered David
brought before him and anointed the young
shepherd boy as the next king of Israel.
I was always curious as to why David was not
initially included. Traditionally, most believe
David was omitted because he was the
youngest, but I don’t believe this theory holds
up under closer scrutiny of the Biblical
account.
When Samuel first approached Bethlehem’s
elders, the Bible tells us they were
“trembling” (v 4). They were terrified of the
prophet. When he said jump, the only
pertinent question was how high.
So when Samuel requested a special meeting
with Jessee and his sons, all were expected to
show up. There must have been some
convincing reason not to extend an invitation
to David.
Why was David excluded?
I believe David actually provides the answer to
this question in Psalm 51 penned in the chaotic
aftermath of his adulterous affair with
Bathsheba.
In verse 5, King David wrote: “Behold I was
brought forth in iniquity and in sin my mother
conceived me.”
So what was David trying to tell us in this
verse?
Traditionally, most believe David was
explaining his affair was due to the sin nature
that plagues all mankind because of Adam and
Eve’s original sin. However, this does not
explain why David committed adultery (though
all humans have the same sin nature, not all
commit adultery).
Setting all fancy theological interpretations
aside, we need to interpret verse 5 simply as it
reads — “in sin my mother conceived me”
means exactly what it says — David’s mother
conceived him in an act of sin. She committed
adultery and David was the byproduct of this
infidelity.
This explains why David was not initially
included in the meeting with Samuel as
technically it could be argued David was not a
true son of Jessee. However, God did include
David as part of Jessee’s family much in the
same way Jesus was considered a son of
Joseph though conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Who was David’s mother?
This is where it gets interesting. No where in
scripture is David’s mother mentioned by
name. This is a bit unusual, as mothers of
several ancient prophets and patriarchs are not
only mentioned, but many times written about,
as they often played a significant role in the
upbringing of their children — such as Moses’
mother Jochebed (Exodus 6:20) and Samuel’s
mother Hannah (1 Samuel 1:1-20).
However, David’s mother was different — as a
wife who committed adultery, she brought
shame upon Jessee and his family and it’s not
surprising her name was excised from the
Biblical account.
I think the most likely scenario is that David’s
mother was a prostitute. It was not uncommon
for children born from such an illicit
relationship to live with the father.
In the book of Judges, we have a story about
Jephath who was conceived when his father
Gilead had sexual relations with a prostitute.
Though conceived through this illicit
encounter, Jephath nevertheless grew up in
Gilead’s house who took responsibility for
raising the child.
But Jephath’s arrival created a tremendous
tension with the sons born of the true mother.
They eventually drove Jephath out of the
family to prevent him from receiving any of
his father’s inheritance (v 2 ).
If David’s mother was also a prostitute it
would explain why she wasn’t mentioned and I
suspect it was the brothers who pushed not to
have David included when Samuel called for a
meeting with the sons of Jesse.
David’s miserable early life
David refers to his mother one more time in
Psalm 69 which — next to Psalm 22 — is the
most quoted Psalm in the New Testament. It is
generally believed Psalm 69 covers David’s
early life prior to his anointing by Samuel.
In verse 8, David writes: “I have become
estranged from my brothers, And an alien to
my mother’s sons.”
This verse reveals David was ostracized from
his own family and was considered an alien or
an outcast by his brothers. Notice how David
refers to his brothers as his mother’s sons —
not his father’s — reflecting they shared the
same mother but not the same father.
According to Strong’s dictionary, the Hebrew
word for estranged “zur” means to “turn one
aside from lodging” and can also refer to an
individual who has come from “adultery – to
come from another man.” In fact, the word is
rooted in the Hebrew word “mamzer” which
means bastard or illegitimate.
Zur intimates David was not included in
regular family activities such as meals. In fact
this may be what verse 21 suggests when
David says they gave me “gall for food” and
“vinegar to drink.” It appears the brothers
made David’s life miserable.
One thing oddly missing in Psalm 69 is any
mention of David’s relationship with Jessee.
Not once did David point to Jessee as the
source of his misery. Neither do we see any
hint of conflict when Jessee asked David to
take food to his brothers who were fighting
the Philistines, but as soon as David showed
up at the army camp, you immediately see the
animosity between David and his brothers (1
Samuel 17: 28-29).
The conflict between David and his half-
brothers indicates it may have been the
brothers who demanded David not be included
in the meeting with Samuel.
Psalm 69 also addresses the misery David
endured growing up. Because of his mother’s
sin, David’s childhood was full of loneliness
and rejection. In verse 3, he speaks of hours
spent crying because of the rejection (v 3). He
explains his frustration of being punished for a
sin he did not commit (v 4) – his mother’s sin.
Worse, he became the object of mockery as
the drunkards sang about his plight (v 26).
David’s life also became a byword or proverb
— literally a living warning — of what happens
to those whose mother commits adultery.
What was particularly hurtful was those who
“sit at the gate” used him as an example (v 12)
of what happens when people sin. The term
“sit at the gate” refers to the elders of the city
who sat at the gates and made judgment on
cases (see Proverbs 31:23; Deut 21:19; 22:15).
These would be the same elders of Bethlehem
who did not think it necessary to include David
when Samuel wanted to meet with Jessee and
his sons.
David then adds he carried the personal shame
of his mother’s sin.
No one cared that David was the innocent
byproduct of his mother’s sin. It was Jewish
belief children could be punished for the sins
of the parents. We see a hint of this in the
gospels, when the disciples — after stumbling
upon on a blind man — asked Jesus if he was
being punished for the sins of his parents or
his own sins (John 9:2,3).
Though despised and rejected by his family
and humiliated by those in his home town,
God saw David’s heart and how he responded
to the rejection and the ugliness that filled his
childhood and chose this boy as the next king
of Israel .
Through this we gain a keen insight in the
redemptive nature of God, who will use
anyone despite their background and heritage
as long as they have a heart for God.//
