He was a great king.

He was a warrior.

He was a leader.

He was a king.

He was a spiritual giant in many ways for his generation, and yet he failed as a father.

King David was so busy doing his job that he failed at his task.

One of his sons raped his half-sister.

Another son killed the rapist half-brother.

And to top it all, his son, Epsilon, conducted a coup d'et-ton

in which he finds himself, as David finds his heart and his emotions and his kingdom

are torn apart as David contemplate this pathetic plight in which he finds himself.
