The book of Shmuel is primarily the book of David. This shiur aims to uncover the clear and consistent leadership philosophy of our greatest political leader - King David. It aims to prove that the purpose of Jewish political leadership in this model is about unity and not about power. It shall be called this model “Davidian political leadership” and sharply juxtapose it to the non-Jewish model of Machiavellian politics. The ultimate messianic model of leadership must descend from King David and is so desperately needed today.
