Court History of David

The Court History of David (more frequently simply the Court History) is one of the two hypothetical main source documents of the Books of Samuel (the other being the Accession History). The text is believed to cover most of 2 Samuel except for the first few chapters and a few more minor parts. The Court History includes several stories with a distinctly negative attitude toward David (e.g., the story of his adultery with Bathsheba).
