BETHLEHEM\n\nThis is a story which begins in Bethlehema long time ago—a thousand years beforethe little Lord.Jesus was born there.  \nIt is a story about David,who was theyoungest of the eight sons of Jesse.  \nJesse was one of the richest and bestknown men in Bethlehem.He was goodand kind,and liked and respected byeveryone.  \nNow he was old,his sons looked afterthe olive groves and vineyards whichbelonged to their father,and ploughed,andsowed,and reaped in his fields of barley.  \n72140I5o  \nThe three eldest sons were strongstalwart men-good looking and brave,and when the kings of other tribes madewar against the land of Israel,then thethree brothers would join the army of Saultheir King,and would follow him intobattle.  \nDavid was the youngest of the eightbrothers.He was still only a boy and hiswork was to look after his father's sheep.  \nThis was no easy task.A shepherd'slife in that land was a hard one.Davidoften had to go far from home,and wanderfor miles on the hills around Bethlehem tofind the fresh grass and water the sheepneeded.  \nThe countryside was sometimes parchedand dry,with the streams dried up and thewells few and far between.There were nowalls or hedges to keep the sheep safelypenned in,and David had to watch care-fully or some of the flock might wanderand get lost.It was dangerous country too.There were deep gullies and dark clefts inthe hillsides,into which a sheep could soeasily fall.Wild beasts lurked in them—lions and bears,who stole out at times totry to snatch away one of the flock.","cbCaia64QO7thlC3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia64QO7thlC3","pdf",1339389,56,"English","# The Shepherd Boy of Bethlehem\n## David’s Family in Bethlehem\n## David as a Young Shepherd\n## Dangers
