What puzzles me is that David was a man of War, even to the point he was not permitted to build God's holy temple. Though he was deemed fit for writing much of the hymn book of the ages. How does being for peace fit with his ethos as warrior?
Was his primary ethos as a warrior or was it as a man who wanted to see God's name vindicated? He seemed to step into war mainly because he was called to it, not mainly because it called to him. I get the sense that he would have been happy to leave military leadership behind if given the chance.
