From USA Today Bestselling Author, Uvi Poznansky, comes an epic historical fiction trilogy with a modern twist:

Volume I: Rise to Power

Here is the story of David as you have never heard it before: from the king himself, telling the unofficial version, the one he never allowed his court scribes to recount. Rooted in ancient lore, his is a surprisingly modern memoir.

Volume II: A Peek at Bathsheba

The most torrid tale of passion ever told: David's forbidden love for Bathsheba, and his attempt to cover up the scandal. Will he muster the strength needed to protect her and save their son from danger?

Volume III: The Edge of Revolt

The last thing David expects is that his beloved son will topple him from the throne. The betrayal threatens not only his life but also his legacy. Coming back to power will put Absalom in danger. Is David ready to counter his next move?

★★★★★ "The miracle of Uvi Poznansky's writing is her uncanny ability to return to old stories and make them brilliantly fresh."

Review

"The miracle of Uvi Poznansky's writing is her uncanny ability to return to old stories and make them brilliantly fresh." - Grady Harp, Hall of Fame Reviewer
"I love this series for its convincing depiction of real people in ancient times, for its unflinching honesty, and for its vividly real characters. This David is no cardboard cutout to be filled in with bright crayoned colors. His Bathsheba is no plaything. And his women will take their place on the stage of history, will have their voice, and will cry out for love and hate and hope." - Sheila Deeth, Top Amazon Reviewer, Vine Voice
"It's a David you never knew existed...one that is completely made from the mind of a very inventive author, but it's a story you will remember. This is NOT your Sunday school David." ~ Eddie D., Vine Voice
"What an incredible opportunity to find all three volumes of the Chronicles of David in this Boxed Set. It's a great gift, not only for yourself, but to be generously shared with others." ~ Dolores Ayote, Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer

OLD STORIES REVIVED AND BRILLIANTLY TOLD ANEW

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

The David Chronicles: Trilogy draws one into ancient stories told vividly as they draw you into the world, mind, and thoughts of an aging David, his clandestine passion for Bathsheba, as he tries to find solace in his own mind and the deeds he has done some good, some out of greed and passion for Bathsheba.

It takes you into David’s spiritual and emotional turmoil that is his life. Will he find the peace he seeks?

I loved these stories. Ms. Poznansky’s telling of them with a bit of a modern twist is much as I imagine the old sages did in years gone by, putting the tales into words that those reading them can identify with.

Ms. Poznansky’s writing is dynamic, poetic, and holds an element of realism that draws the reader into new world. One where you can feel, touch, and taste all that world holds. It is a rare talent that can do that.

Reader's Biblical Delight!

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2014

Book 1
The setting in "Rise to Power" is in the appropriate Biblical era but the characters have what appears to be a more modern day method of thinking. Or is this really an age old way of operating and not modern at all? Ms. Poznansky is merely saying it likes she sees it. The discerning reader soon realizes a more sinister plot may have taken place as she spurs us on to think outside the box and entertain all kinds of possibilities. Most of us are very familiar with the Bible story about the young boy David who slays Goliath...however, I encourage you to read this version of his story. You will get an x-ray view of not only how David's mind possibly worked but also of the way Ms. Poznansky's mind captivatingly works in order to entice her reading audience. She does not leave a stone unturned in this intriguing Biblical story as David narrates his tale with and through the eyes of Ms. Poznansky. Watch David come alive with all his human faults, frailties, and fears as he diligently searches for his path to power. "Life in the shadow of death"...is it really that exciting after all? You be the judge.

Book 2
In "A Peek at Bathsheba", the reader continues to get a glimpse of King David's his all-too-human side. In Ms. Poznansky's portrayal of him, his alleged weaknesses hang out like a sore thumb and make it difficult to admire him as King of the House of David who reigns over the tribe of Judea. He has every ambition to influence the other eleven tribes and perhaps rule the nation. Although King David craves a peaceful resolution, his chief general Joav chooses
disastrous triumphs" in his effort to accomplish victory in "his ill-advised civil war against the eleven tribes of Israel". With the untimely death of Joav's younger brother Asahel in one such battle, King David is advised to no longer trust Joav in what appears to be his own quest for power. King David himself is already having his own doubts and fears about Joav but now one of his spiritual advisors has confirmed his very thoughts. But soon it appears that Joav is not his only concern...

King David with his many wives, materialistic cravings, and perceived desire for power are only surpassed by his covetous nature in his pursuit of Bathsheba. He is obviously not above adultery and although Bathsheba does little to ward off his advances...afterall how could she possibly refuse a King?

Book 3
"The Edge of Revolt" is the third and final installment in the Chronicle of David Series. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in this series, Book 3 is my favorite thus far. It is penned by the same gifted author....well-written in Author Uvi Poznansky's unique and captivating style. However, it offers closure to the life and eventual death of King David. He has led a ponderous life, a gifted psalmist...filling up scroll after scroll, yet persecuted by the realization of his own humanity and need for redemption. Haunted by his love for Bathsheba, the taking of her when she was married to Uriah, and his subsequent act of perpetuating Uriah's murder on the battlefield clearly demonstrates one of the many reasons for the spiritual and emotional turmoil in King David's life. Will he ever find the peace of mind he so deeply desires before his death...?

What an incredible opportunity to find all three volumes of the Chronicles of David in this Boxed Set. It's a great gift, not only for yourself, but to be generously shared with others.

I was disappointed in this series

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2021

The story was ok I guess, but I was very thrown by some lazy editing (names changing partway through a dialogue, wrong words used / bad grammar). I was also very distracted and didn’t like at all by how often modern-day anachronisms were used.

I mean, I wouldn’t necessarily want to read some thing where the literary style is so heavy and formal and ancient that it would be hard to follow, but the modern day slang and commonly used phrasing just really turned me off. Sorry.

Historical Fiction. Fiction being the operative word

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

David tells his own story from shepherd boy to king and everything inbetween. These three books show David in abstract . Book one is David loving life, himself and many women. He is enthralled with his figure and wishes to build a statue of himself so everyone can see how beautiful he is. His constant fear of the current King, Saul, who by no stretch of the imagination is quite mad and of course David's claim to fame, the death of the Giant. Book two continues on that curve as David, now King, makes his mark with beauty abounding as he makes the City of David a masterpiece of craftsmanship and spectacles. Here he chooses wives and concubines and pines for the one thing he cannot have ..(yet) Bathsheba. Book three sees the kingdom in jeopardy and David with his household fleeing from one of his son's who has taken authority away from David and proclaimed himself King.
We see David as a thoughtful person and one who delays justice to one that hurt his beloved daughter Tamara. It's a David you never knew existed...one that is completely made from the mind of a very inventive author, but it's a story you will remember. This is NOT your Sunday school David....this one is full of faults, just like us.

The Story of David as told by himself

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Uvi Poznansky delivers an excellent retelling of the Biblical story of David in the David Chronicles, a trilogy told in an autobiographical form, with David as the narrator in Rise to Power, A Peek at Bathsheba and The Edge of Revolt. Poznansky ‘s gift of descriptive language takes you through David’s life, from his youth as a musician and entertainer, to the killing of Goliath, through his ascension as King to his final days. Written in modern language, David is portrayed as the flawed human being he was, yet you feel a bond to him because of that.The author is a master of storytelling and draws you along with David on the journey of his life.

NOT FOR ME!

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2021

I felt this book is very disrespectful and I am not sure what the arthor was trying to accomplish. Davis was made out to be a demented old man that did not have any idea where is was or what was happening to him at the intro of the book. Then later it has King Saul saying the "F" word. David was made to be an idiot child when he first was asked to play music for the king. In truth David was a Godly young man and had the utmost respect and love for Saul. Why would anyone degrade this story?

A Soul Beckoning for a Beacon of Light

Reviewed in Germany on March 6, 2022

Who was David? Who was the shepherd turned king? Was he caught up in ambition and women, or was he a poet searching for his god? Maybe he was an ordinary man with an extraordinary fate. Maybe he was all of the above.

In the David Chronicles Trilogy, Ms Poznansky searches for answers. In doing so she opens a pit of depravation. She shows us an ageing man who looks back and a young man who strives to conquer the world. Both are David, and both are searching for answers that they may never be able to accept.

David carries Goliath's head with him, but not only that. He longs to go back to being an entertainer, but his fate takes him where he must go. Without his music, he is lost. The poet and musician becomes a king and a reluctant soldier.

It is possible to discuss whether the Aramaic language contained modern-day American swearwords, but it isn’t the issue here. To find the essence of the man David, Ms Poznansky uses every language known to man. The plot arc is massive, taking the reader from the playful performer to the decrepit old king, showing all the aspects of his rise to power, his fall from grace, and his final time as an ageing monarch. A tour de force of an accomplished author.

A struggle to read

Reviewed in Canada on February 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

Some works draw you into their world effortlessly. This work is hard to read, starting with a language that seems deliberately archaic, perhaps to make the novel seem more historically authentic. It doesn't; it (the language) just makes reading a slog.
