    Episode 34: From Cellophane to Camelot

    [We begin with a rousing rendition of Mr. Cellophane (Chicago the Musical)]

    Previously on the book of Shmuel (part Bet) we saw how David dealt with a very politically sensitive issue. Avner, who was essentially the puppet master behind the kingship of Ish-Boshet had no sooner agreed to switch to David’s side and unite the monarchy under him, when he is ignominiously murdered by David’s head of the army. We pointed out that while Daid is able to distance himself from that act, he nevertheless capitalizes on it to have Avner buried not in Binyamin but in Yehuda.

    This week we will once again see David’s enemies eliminated without his knowledge or consent. Once that is sorted it is finally time for David’s monarchy and character arc to reach its pinnacle. Everything goes right, and for a time we are able to enter Camelot. Let’s savor it while it lasts.
