Psalm 137 - the missing verses

[triadboy]

The Book of J, Rosenberg/Bloom, Page 19

My J is a Guvurah ("great lady") of post-Solomonic court circles, herself of Davidic blood, who began writing her great work in the later years of Solomon, in close rapport and exchanging influences with her good friend the Court Historian, who wrote most of what we now call 2 Samuel.

page 36

...Rehoboam's reign in the curtailed kingdom of Judah as a likely time and place for the writing careers of J and the Court Historian.

That was Soloman's son - I remember now.

Well we had the Boundaries covered. I had it too early. I now remember - she was looking back through the Solomonic period. And was ridiculing Jeraboam, King of Israel. But she also rejected Rehoboam as a weak King of Judah.

Fig Newton?

I stand corrected. Your Fig Newton is in the mail.

I find the most fascinating aspect of Bloom's thesis to be that Joseph is the central figure of her story, and he is meant as the literary embodiment of, or tribute to, the giant figure of recent living memory in her own time, King David.

Actually I was offering YOU the Fig Newton. I think you were more right then I was. That's what I meant by - 'we have the boundaries covered'. You were a little later and I was a little early. I declare it a tie.

The only thing that bothers me is the historical existence of Soloman and David. Is there a non-biblical reference to them? There didn't used to be.
