"This is the first book devoted to the biblical figure of Abigail, whose encounter with David is narrated in 1 Samuel 25. An interdisciplinary study, its seven papers combine biblical criticism, narratology, history of religions, Assyriology and the study of midrash.

The Demise of the Warlord(Updated) A New Look at the David Story (Hebrew Bible Monographs) by Dr DanielBodi Hardcover, 284 Pages, Published 2010 by Sheffield Phoenix Press Ltd ISBN-13: 978-1-906055-82-0, ISBN: 1-906055-82-3

"This fresh approach to the story of Michal, daughter of Saul and wife of David, juxtaposes three quite different interpretative methods: narratological, historical, and history of traditions. In his first chapter Bodi offers a subtle political reading of the Michal story, bringing to the fore the power-struggle between Saul and David that forms its main intrigue. Michal's personal tragedy foreshadows that of the Israelite monarchy and ..."
