Saul richt zijn speer op David - Engraving, Public domain image

description

Summary

Saul wordt overmand door jaloezie en richt zijn speer op David, die voor hem zijn harp bespeelt. Enkele hovelingen en lijfwachten kijken toe. Onder de voorstelling een verwijzing in het Latijn naar de Bijbeltekst in 1 Sam. 18. Deze prent maakt deel uit van een album.

David was a skilled musician and poet, and he played the harp to soothe King Saul when he was tormented by evil spirits. David's musical abilities and his role as a psalmist also led him to be associated with the worship of God and with the expression of devotion and praise. The image of David playing the harp remains a symbol of the connection between music, worship, and devotion in Western tradition.
