...The theme of protection and guidance is extremely prevalent throughout The Bible and provides a powerful message of self-sacrifice and accountability in the face of adversity. The way King David speaks to, and about GOD (Yahweh) provides insight as to how he was more intimate with him; as is a father with his child. King David states, “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want” (Psalms 23:1). He, GOD, provides for us and does not dissuade us from the gift of eternity, but welcomes us fully. Referencing the Book of Psalms, the underlying factor is King David taking accountability for his sins and ultimately repenting. King David states, “He restores my soul; he guides me in the path of righteousness, for his name’s sake” (Psalms 23:3). Ultimately this is a portrayal of King David at his lowest low, wallowing in sorrow; but pronouncing the great mercies of the LORD....

...King David is one of the greatest kings of all Israel, but also a very tragic figure. King David was also a smart man. The people of Israel lived in twelve different tribes, and they didn’t always get long with each other. So King David very smartly makes Jerusalem the capital, which is in between the North tribes and the the south tribes. King David also bring the ark of the covenant, that all the ten commandments into Jerusalem and makes it the holy sight. King David wanted to build a temple to put the ark in, but God says “No l’ve lived in tent for so long in the covenant, but I will promise you I will make your kingdom an eternal kingdom.” But then the tragic stories of David begin. Although David was married he sees Bathsheba bathing and King David fall in love with her and they consummate their relationship, but Bathsheba was married to David’s best friend and general Uriah. David has Uriah killed by his own solider in battle and they make it seem like Uriah was killed during the fight....

Obed’s grandmother was the former prostitute Rahab. David’s Introduction There are three consecutive stories in the bible that introduce David. They sit next to each other, without any reference to each other and often appear contradictory. The first introduction to the story of David is when God instructs Samuel to go to Jesse and his family in order to anoint Israel’s future King. Saul sees Eliab, Jesse’s first son and he judges by appearance ‘surely this is the Lord’s anointed’ 1 Samuel 16:6. God then tells Samuel that he had rejected Eliab because He judges by...

...Anthony Wataka Accounting Information Systems Information Security Management within ERP Systems Research Paper Introduction This paper will discuss research on Information Security Management (ISM) within Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems since information security continues to be a hot topic in the business world. The major focus of the paper will be threefold: an analysis of the ERP systems in the present day, a relation of these systems to the accounting and auditing world, and finally, the future of the technology, given its vast impact in the business world. Notable ERP Systems Research Key research pertinent to this paper includes the works of Grabski et al. (2011) who discuss various issues relating to the security environment, as regards the ERP systems. They talk about the risk associated with ERP systems implementation and define it as a “problem that has not occurred but has the potential to cause loss” (Grabski et al. 2011, p. 55). They mention that there is a need for ERP audit techniques, such as embedded audit modules, to control security risks (2011, p.55). This paper will utilize their research work to analyze auditing in an ERP environment by examining security risks and internal controls after ERP implementation. Additionally, Hunton et al. (2004) try to address the issue of risk associated with ERP systems, in the context of auditing (p.1-23). Hunton et al. (2004) analyze how financial auditors compare ERP systems related risks to...
