About
The early Christian church, seeking "types" for its own beliefs and history throughout the Jewish scriptures, found a rich lode of metaphors in the stories of David: David's marriage of Bathsheba was seen as a model of the church's wooing of the community of believers away from the discredited Jewish faith, his speech to followers during the flight from Absalom was a prefiguring of Jesus's farewell speech to his disciples, and the battle with Goliath symbolized the church's eternal but victorious battle with Satan.
