St. Ambrose offers an interpretation of the story of Noah (Genesis 6:5 through 9:29) and two essays on the story of King David's adultery with Bathsheba and his order for her husband to be killed (2 Samuel 11:2 through 12:25). His exegesis of the narrative of Noah and the Flood is allegorical. With regard to David and Bathsheba, Ambrose includes his own commentary on Psalm 51 (50 in the Septuagint), which he interprets as David's heartfelt repentance. Ambrose's overall purpose in the two treatises on David is to defend him as a righteous man"--cProvided by publisher.00aNoahc(Biblical figure)00aDavid,cKing of Israel. 0aFathers of the churchvEarly works to 1800vTranslations into English. 0aTheologyvEarly works to 1800.1 aDunkle, Brian,etranslator.
