Border with Shimei Throwing Stones at David; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: Crowned but barefoot, King David flees from the invading army of his son, only to be stoned by Shimei, an old man who favored the previous king. David's persecution and loneliness mirror those of Christ during his trials, seen on the facing page. The text on this page discusses Christ's stripping, mocking, and crowning with thorns.
