Yaakov and David
Introduction
Yaakov, as the father of the Children of Israel, and David, as the founder of the eternal dynastic monarchy, are two of the most central characters in Jewish history. Strikingly, there are numerous similarities between the general trajectories of their lives and the specific events which befall them. In a number of cases, these parallels are also underscored by linguistic similarities between their respective verses.
