ABSTRACT
From one point of view, the interest of the story of David as a mythological theme stems from the ambiguity of kingship and the fascination that it exercises over people. The commentary feebly says that Bathsheba had been destined for David from all time, and that he simply lacked patience. The episode concerned is more than just an episode: it occupies the central, pivotal place in David's journey through life. And when their second son, Solomon, was finally born, the Bible says with overwhelming simplicity: And the Lord loved him. The central theme, which cannot be talked about, takes the form of a journey, the importance of which can never be exaggerated. Later, when Solomon wrote the Song of Songs, it is irrelevant whether or not the work was just attributed to him the same symbolism persisted.
