1 & 2 Samuel

The King David Bible Crossword

15×15 grid · Easy · Ends on Psalm 23:1

The youngest of eight sons, keeping sheep while his brothers are called in to meet the prophet — and the one God chooses, because the LORD looketh on the heart. King David covers the life rather than any single episode: the harp that quieted Saul, the years as a fugitive, the city he took and made his own, and the son who broke his heart.

If you want the giant, that is its own puzzle; if you want the psalm, so is Psalm 23. This grid is the man in between. It closes, fittingly, on the line he is best remembered for.
