Daud, Anak Gembala

David sits among his flock in the open hills, cradling a lamb while other sheep gather near him in the pasture. A small harp rests beside him, recalling the worshipful songs that would later be associated with Israel’s shepherd-king. The scene presents David before the throne, when he was still the youngest son of Jesse, tending sheep with patience, courage, and tenderness.

In Scripture, David’s years as a shepherd prepared him for both battle and kingship. His care for lambs points toward the biblical theme of faithful leadership: the one entrusted with a flock learns to guard, guide, and serve. This artwork is well suited for children’s Bible lessons, Sunday school resources, teaching on David’s early life, or ministry themes of shepherding, calling, worship, and God’s hidden preparation.
