EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Shimei cursing David on his Flight from Jerusalem" takes us back to biblical times with its intricate details and powerful storytelling. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in the Book of Samuel. The scene depicts King David's desperate escape from Jerusalem as he is cursed by Shimei, a man who holds him responsible for the downfall of Saul's dynasty. The intensity of emotions is palpable as David flees with his loyal followers while Shimei hurls insults and stones at him. This artwork was originally commissioned as an illustration for Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition, published around 1880. It beautifully brings to life one of the many dramatic stories found within the Old Testament. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless themes present in biblical narratives – loyalty, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption. The story of David's flight from Jerusalem serves as a reminder that even great leaders face trials and tribulations but can find strength through faith. With its rich symbolism and historical significance, this engraving invites us to delve deeper into the pages of our own personal journeys while exploring the profound teachings found within both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.
