"Following Daniel Bodi's previous monographs on the three wives of King David--Michal, Bathsheba and Abigail--here is a fourth one on Abishag, the last woman in his life. It has not been recognized before how decisive a role she played as a palace administrator in David's final political crisis, Adonijah's coup d'état, and Solomon's proclamation as king. Much more than a simple housekeeper, Abishag wields administrative power with a legal role as a witness in Solomon's appointment."--Provided by publisher |
