FOREWARD

During the seige-of Rabbah, the capital of Ammon, by the Hebrew army under Joab, David was caught by Satan, who managed to get his black lasso over his neck, superinducing his precipitation from the heights of holiness, where he had walked with, God since his juvenile shepherdhood, meanwhile his faith was so heroic as to enable him to slay the monstrous lion, and the huge bear and wind up his nomadic service in the decapitation of Goliath, the champion of the Philistine army, who had stampeded the host of Israel forty days by his constant challenge, with the acquiesence of his nation to- settle the conflict in a hand to hand battle with the champion of their choice.
