  It was evident to everyone in the crowded, darkened room that the king could not last through the night. There was a silence that seemed part of the very atmosphere. It was not a fearful, foreboding silence but a waiting silence, as though something very important and awesome were about to happen.
  Family and friends tiptoed in and out of the room; old warriors awkwardly brushed tears from their eyes as they filed past his bed for a last glimpse; small grandchildren were held up to look at him and the women of the harem gathered together soberly in a frightened knot at the foot of his bed. They all sensed how barren and empty life would be without him and wanted to cling to every precious moment left to them.
  The king reached out his hand to Bathsheba, and she took it and held it in both of hers bending over to hear the words he was struggling to speak. "You must not weep for me. This illness is unto death, but do not grieve. The Lord, Himself, has come to see me. His Shekinah glory has filled the room, and He has spoken to me of all that shall come to pass in the future. He has given me a message of hope for my people." His voice was so weak she could barely hear him. "Nathan the prophet," he continued with great effort, "has written it, that all may hear and be comforted."

conversations.value: Inside the courtyard of the king, Ahithophel found himself surrounded by the men of Benjamin. They were waiting for Saul's only surviving son, Ishbosheth, to come out into the courtyard to be crowned with his father's crown. Seeing Abner, the king's general, they crowded around and plied him with questions
  A moan swept over the men. They began to cry out their frustrations to the God of Israel, who had deserted them in their hour of need. "This is not the worst," Abner shouted, motioning for silence. "Word has also come to the young prince that the heads of his father and brothers are being sent around to all the Philistine cities so their people might mock the men of Israel."
  With that the men of Benjamin began to wail and weep, tearing their cloaks and beating their breasts.
  Ahithophel was caught up in the general grief, but he did not forget his purpose. He clutched the cloak of Abner and shouted over the din, "My son. What of my son?"
  Ahithophel staggered and fell back as though wounded himself. "No, no, not my son. You are mistaken. It could not have been my son."

conversations.value: No one thought of Jessica as one of the hated Amalekites; she was as a daughter to Ahithophel and Reba and an older sister to Bathsheba. Now, as the two girls worked together, they talked as equals and friends.
  Jessica was surprised at the unexpected outburst. "It is an honor for your grandfather that King David wants him as his counselor."
  The grain was finished. With a great effort Jessica lifted the top stone and swept the particles of flour into the pile beside the stones. Then catching up the corners of the tough, homespun cloth, she tied the ends securely and stood up. She dusted off her skirt and quickly put the flour in a basket which she placed on her head. Then she hurried out to the ovens in the far court.
  Bathsheba sat for a moment, thinking. I don't really believe Grandfather will leave Lodebar—not even when I am married to Judah and living just down the lane from him.
  She smiled, thinking ahead to the party that evening. "It will be good," she told herself, "to live so close to home and grind grain for the house of Judah."
