Bathsheba goes to David by Francesco Salviati (1510–1563)
These two chapters mark the turning point in David’s story.
They offer vital clues also to how we “read” biblical narratives.
- Nathan’s story within a story provides hints, abouit the nature of narrative meaning
- David’s strange behaviour during his child’s illness and on his death provides both a clue to an interpretative rule, and some good practice
.
