By JS' preaching, should we stop saying Jesus was given birth to by a virgin but by a harlot?
How could he conveniently make David's great grandmother who was even in the lineage of David's father look like David's original mother and concluded David's mother was a harlot?

Wrong analysis and preaching.

It's normal ponder on this, as it isn't written where David's mum was a "harlot", but this is coming from a man of revelations. Some truths are revealed to those whom God trusts. It's left for the receiver to tell the world or not.

Suleman is psychological unstable. He has been through a lot and just trying hard to focus. Left to him alone, he will abscond out of the country but trying hard to be firm.


I won't judge him by anything he says now. A confused man can say anything.



Am sure the wife went to cool her head in the UK.
Actually,you are the one who is mentally unstable because you don't do your research yet you rush to criticize. Alot of findings show that David's mum was a prostitute. Apostle suleman is right.

It is a popularly held notion that there's a high chance David's mother was a harlot. Surprised you people are just hearing this. In the culture of the Israelites the elders tend the fathers flock while the younger stay stay at home with their parents as was the case with Joseph and Benjamin in the book of Genesis. In the case of David all his brothers were usually at home and only him will go and tend the father's cattle. Note that, it took Samuel to ask Jesse if it was all his sons that were at home before they even remembered David. When David went to the war front to take food to his brothers, they were angry at seeing him and throughout the texts written about David and his family, you notice he was sort of an outcast and alone. Even when he became king, i don't think there was any mention of his family and their relationship with him. That is why some Bible scholars hold the view that his mother was likely not legitimately married.

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, etc. We are not to suppose that David here reflects upon his parents as the medium of transmitting to him the elements of moral evil; and that by the introduction of the doctrine of original sin he intended to extenuate the enormity of his own crimes. On the contrary, we are to regard him as afflicting himself by the humbling consideration that his very nature was fallen, that his transgressions flowed from a heart naturally at enmity with God; that he was not a sinner by accident, but by a depravity of purpose extending to the innermost desires and purposes of the soul; and that there was "a law in his members, warring against the law of his mind, and bringing him into captivity to the law of sin and death" Romans 7:23

Bros,

Matthew Henry's commentary is rich and exhaustive......

It "richly" explains passages in the scripture. Many today's pastors (so-called) are simply lazy to research, they just jump on podiums and desecrate the scriptures

David was conceived outside wedlock - simple.

me too I have always pondered psalm 51. why was David alone despite having elder brothers? why were is brothers always antagonising him?

The mother of David was Nitzevet, from the tribe of Judah,and from the lineage of the kings of Judah. David had two half-sisters (1 Chron. 2:13-16), and their father was not Jesse but Nahash (2 Sam. 17:25, 2 Sam. 10:2) who was an Ammonite king (1 Sam. 11:1; 1 Sam. 12:12). David’s mother might have been a second wife of Jesse. Perhaps the first wife of Jesse was considered superior to his second wife, because this would explain why David’s half brothers viewed themselves as superior to David and why David was not called before Samuel among the other sons – as he was possibly viewed as an illegitimate child (1 Sam. 16:11).

We can speculate further that perhaps David’s mother was not married to Jesse when she became pregnant, or maybe she was still the concubine of, or married to Nahash when she conceived David. Moreover, we can’t rule out that it might be as per this story, reminding us about Jacob and Leah + her sister Rachel. If this story is applicable, then Jesse is indeed David’s father without even knowing it due to a sneaky plan carried out by his wife, and David’s brothers would regard him as an illegitimate and hated son of their mother.

Psalm 69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.— 19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.—21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

Suleiman just didn't understand the mystery before coming out. Nitzevet was never a harlot.

A lot of things don't add up in David's story so I won't rush to say apostle was wrong.


"in sin my mother conceived me” means his mother committed adultery and David was the byproduct of this infidelity

My opinion.

Why was David excluded from the meeting with Samuel?

Why wasn't his mother's name mentioned in the Bible?

These are questions we need to ask.

Let's read a documented story of one born through prostitution, it help us understand why I concur with the apostle.


11 Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior. His father was Gilead; his mother was a prostitute. 2
Gilead’s wife also bore him sons, and when they were grown up, they drove Jephthah away. “You are not going to get any inheritance in our family,” they said, “because you are the son of anot

her woman.” (Judges 11:1-2)

Though he grew up in his father's house but his half brothers drove him away at a point.

This sheds light on why David wasn't called when Samuel came and why his mother's name was not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

“I have become estranged from my brothers, And an alien to my mother’s sons.”Psalm 69:8.

This another cryptic message from David. It revealed that David was ostracized from his own family and was considered an alien or an outcast by his brothers.
And it seems he shared the same mother with some people but not same father.

Psalm 69 from verse 3 also also shed light on what he endured while 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).

Noticed the emphasis on his mother's sin?

He kept talking about it.

Salmon married the harlot and gave birth to Boaz, Boaz gave birth to Obed, obed gave birth to Jesse, Jesse gave birth to David.

Thanks . The point of the apostle was on how God can bring beauty out of a man's life no matter your background . If you come to God he will change you. He only use David grandmother Rahab who was a harlot as illustration

James 2:25
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
