Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Santa Maria Maggiore, die grösste und ehrwürdigste unter den rund 80 Marienkirchen Roms, gehört zu den 4 Patriarchalbasiliken und den 7 Pilgerkirchen. Nach der Legende soll die Kirche im 4. Jh. an der Stelle errichtet worden sein, an der es die Madonna im August schneien liess. In der Basilika wird seit dem 7. Jh. ohne Unterbrechung täglich die Messe gefeiert.
Gegenüber der Cappella Sistina liess sich Paul V. Borghese von Flaminio Ponzio eine Kapelle errichten, die Cappella Paolina. Die Skulptur des Königs David, der als Stammvater Jesu gilt, stammt von Nicolas Cordier.

'He who rules over men must be just,
Ruling in the fear of God.
And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises,
A morning without clouds,
Like the tender grass springing out of the earth,
By clear shining after rain.
~the last words of David, in 2 Samuel 23
Best viewed by clear shining after rain.
Fenton House, a 17th century property now owned by the National Trust, contains numerous examples of Stuart era embroidery (i.e. from the 17th century).
This picture shows a stumpwork box which is decorated on all sides. The main image on the lid of the box is The Judgement of Paris; this image is of one of the short ends and shows King David in a rural setting with birds, plants and animals.
The Jaca Cathedral is one of the oldest of the Iberian peninsula, dating back to the 1070s. The building, that was altered many times later, was commissioned by King Sancho Ramírez, who established an episcopal seat in Jaca, then the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon.
The Romanesque cathedral was completed around 1130. In 1395 a blaze destroyed large parts of the cathedral. The ceiling had to be reconstructed in the following decades and got renovated in the 16th century, when the aisles were added and the nave got enlarged.
The cloister, adjoining the cathedral hosts the "Museo Diocesano de Jaca".
Here is the museum´s website:

I had once admired the capital depicting "King David and his musicians" on the southern porch of the cathedral. This porch was added to the structure later, "reusing" capitals that probably had been before part of a Romanesque cloister. I did not know at that time, that I saw a copy.
This is the original, a masterpiece of the Master of Jaca. King David, is accompanied by an orchestra of 11 musicians, playing different instruments. This is a close up the left side, where 5 of the 11 musicians are gathered. On the right is a flautist (pan flute) and a below him is a hornist. The musician to the left holds a string instrument, probably a small lute. The instrument below him will be better seen on the following upload.
The Biblical narrative gives a detailed description of King David and his companions dancing their way into Jerusalem as priests carry the Ark of the Covenant ahead of them. King David is described as having donned a special priestly garment called a "linen ephod" for the occasion. The appearance of the ephod is explained elsewhere in the Bible. The event is reported to have been a joyous one and the procession was made amid the sound of various musical instruments which I referenced from monuments and artifacts contemporary with King David.

The story of King David's infatuation and subsequent marriage to Bathsheba, after he had sent her husband to fight in the front line of battle where he was killed, and the king's later repentance, is told in the biblical Book of Samuel II, Chapter 11-12.
Bathsheba is observed washing herself, the moment at which David first saw her, 'very beautiful to look on'.

Die Privaträume Alexanders VI. Borgia (Pontifikat 1492 - 1503) wurden zwischen 1429 und 1494 Pinturicchio und seiner Werkstatt ausgemalt.

This is a superb illuminated leaf with a historiated initial of King David from a Bible that was made in England, probably Oxford, c.1250.
The text on this leaf starts in the “Prologus sive origo psalmorum” or “Prologue or origin of the psalms” which would have opened with “David filius Jesse cum esset in regno suo”. This is the “Pseudo-Bede Prologue. The person known as “Pseudo-Bede” was Manegold von Lautenbach (died c.1103).
The first initial begins a letter sent from Jerome to Eustochiom concerning the Psalter and his corrected translation.
The historiated initial begins the text of the Psalms. This part of the text goes from Psalm 1 through to Psalm 9, verse 12.
The size of the leaf is 196/198mm x 141mm (7 7/10 – 7 8/10ins. x 5 11/20ins.).
On the recto is a historiated initial of king David which is fully described in the detail picture.

1.On the verso is a pencil annotation that the leaf is 1250, English, Oxford and “Ege”. It is probable therefore that it is from the same Bible that leaves from which were Folio 13 in Ege’s “Fifty Original Leaves from Medieval Manuscripts, Western Europe, XII-XVI Century”.

Israel's image may be tarnished with religious conflict. But while actually there, you'll see how harmonious the world can be with the world's major religions coexisting in one place. Jerusalem is living history. Tel Aviv - a modern metropolis resembling South Beach. You'll find signs in English, Hebrew and Arabic.
