(by Caravaggio)


David beat the giant champion of the enemy, Goliath, by throwing a stone at him. As soon as the jealous king Saul was killed in battle, David became the king. He made Jerusalem the sacred city, and designed many psalms.


David versloeg de vijandelijke reus Goliat met een steenworp. Toen de jaloerse koning Saul gesneuveld was, werd David koning. Hij maakte van Jerusalem de heilige stad, en ontwierp vele psalmen.


David lapide iacto Gigantem inimicorum Goliat delevit. Invidus rex Saul cecidit in bello, et David rex factus est. Fecit Jerusalem oppidum sanctum, et multos psalmos fecit.
