Answer:

<em>Beowulf</em> is a famous Old English epic poem and one of the most important works in the whole English literature. In the poem, a hero named Beowulf heads towards the mead-hall of Heorot, to help king Hrothgar and his people fight a creature called Grendel.

The value system in medieval society was quite different than nowadays. Men were expected to demonstrate their physical strength and skills in battles. Beowulf is the character mainly involved in the theme of conquest - he is brave, strong and a true Anglo-Saxon hero. Beowulf's courage is demonstrated three times throughout the poem - when he fights and kills Grendel, his mother, and ultimately the dragon. After the first two victories, Beowulf becomes the new king and assumes dominance. Beowulf does everything he can to protect his people. As combat was a particular test of one's manhood, Beowulf's bravery and strength thus improve his reputation in society and make him a new ruler. Strength and bravery were, in medieval society, characteristics which enabled men to conquer territories and establish authority.  Finally, Beowulf proves to be a real hero when he risks his life and dies to protect his people from the dragon.

Answer:

The loyalty of David’s men ran deep and David cherished these men. In 2 Samuel 23:13-17 we read about a time when David was hiding from Saul and probably having spent days without much water nor food said longingly how he wished to drink from the waters of Bethlehem. Bethlehem at the time was under the control of the Philistines, but when his men heard David’s words, three of them snuck through the Philistine lines to get that water for David.

David’s response to their generous act showed the love and appreciation he had for their sacrifice. Instead of drinking the water, he poured the water out to God. He felt that was the only way that he could honor how they had risked their lives to get him the water in the first place. His response showed the heart of David, a man after God’s own heart, and it stands in great contrast to his callous message to Joab after Uriah’s death many years later, “for the sword devours now one and now another.”As much as David was called to be king, David’s Mighty Men were called to support him. God used these men to help establish David’s kingdom. Like David, Uriah answered his call and was faithful to the end and played his part in bringing about God’s promise.

Even though this event with Uriah is tragic and definitely leaves a bad impression of David, I love that God has imperfect leaders. His imperfect heroes reminds us every day people that God’s requirement is not perfection. It reminds me that you do not have to wait to be perfect to serve his purposes. But I wanted to bring Uriah’s story to light, a lesser known and almost forgotten hero. He too was a leader of men, a great warrior, faithful to God, and faithful to his mission. He also was God’s faithful servant
