My father, Saul, suffered fits of madness, terrible frenzied states – soothed only by the lilting melodies of David's lyre, allowing him to fall into a fitful sleep. But then word came of David's exploits, praising his defeat of the Philistines in battle. Commoners chanted: "Saul killed thousands, but David ten thousand." Father seethed with jealousy.
David, at only 13, had killed the mammoth, Goliath, with a single sling-shot. His downfall reverberated around the land.
I, Michal, loved David, the red-headed warrior-musician. We married, but I bore him no children.
Father sinned – saving the king of Amalek. Prophet Samuel anointed David.
