>>18760134A great manExtortion and Threat of Massacre (The Case of Nabal)During the period in which he led his band of fugitives in the desert, David operated a kind of "protective militia".• Extortion: His men guarded the herds of large landowners in the region against raids by other nomadic peoples. In return, David demanded tribute in the form of food and provisions.• Attempted massacre: When the wealthy farmer Nabal refused to pay the band of soldiers, David ordered his men to draw their swords and march with the explicit intention of exterminating all the men in Nabal's household. The massacre was only averted because Nabal's wife, Abigail, secretly intervened, bringing the required provisions.
>>18760130Ecclesiastes 9:7-9>Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already approved what you do. Let your garments be always white; let not oil be lacking on your head. Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life... for that is your lot in life and in your toil...Epic of Gilgamesh>As for you, Gilgamesh, let your belly be full, make merry by day and night! Of each day make a feast of rejoicing, day and night dance and play! Let your clothes be clean, let your head be washed, wash yourself with water! Gaze on the little one who holds your hand, let a wife enjoy your repeated embrace! For such is the destiny [of mortal men].Ecclesiastes 4:9-12>Two are better than one... And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him - a threefold cord is not quickly broken.Epic of Gilgamesh>Two people can withstand an attack, and two together can clear the path... A three-ply rope cannot be cut.>The presence of Persian loanwords and numerous Aramaisms points to a date no earlier than about 450 BC.I'm noticing.
