David and Jonathan - A Fictitious Tale
I have just published a story that can be found at http://onerealstory.com/better-than-the-love-of-women/#more-84. It is a fictitious Biblical tale with the heroes being David and Jonathan. The love between David and Jonathan(very delicately hinted at in the Bible) does play a major role in my story. But I have always been fascinated by the religious-political interaction between the fanatic prophet Samuel and the melancholy (depressed in today's parlance) king Saul. That too is part of my tale.
The Old Testament was not written as children's literature. An ordinary story book discussing hacking off 100 foreskins of the Philistines would certainly not be found nowadays in a school library.
Readers comments - they can now be made in my blog - would be appreciated.
