One of two accounts of King David's last words is found in this lesson. The passage
reminds us of other famous people's last words. People often die as they've lived. So a
person's last words can reflect their personality or character. Here are some
famous last words that have been heard. Irish playwright, Brendan Behan, lay dying in a
hospital. A nun, who was his nurse, was taking his pulse. "Bless you, Sister," said Behan
to the nun, smiling weakly, "may all your sons be bishops" -- humorous last words.
Other's last words are defiant.
