The Shocking Theory About David’s Mother

Why did Jesse overlook David when Samuel came to anoint the next king? Why did his brothers treat him with contempt? Some believe David may have been viewed as an outcast in his own family, possibly even the child of an affair. While the Bible never confirms this and it remains only a theory, exploring this possibility helps us understand David’s struggles later in life — especially with lust and adultery.

In this video, we examine David’s mysterious early years, the theory of his illegitimacy, how family sin can ripple through generations, and why God still chose David as a man after His own heart. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter your family background, God’s grace can redeem you and use you for His glory.
