The Story of Abishag Ted L. Barnes

This is the untold story of Abishag, hidden within the Song of Solomon and revealed in the scriptures of Chronicles, Samuel, and the Kings. Abishag was one of the most beautiful and independent women in the Bible. She was chosen for her youth and beauty to care for King David in his elder years. There, at the palace, she caught the eye of two of his sons and began a secret love affair that would, eventually, pit brother against brother and threaten the very throne. With footnotes to scriptures, the author asks you to read for yourself in the King James Version and ponder the possibility of this alternate interpretation of the Song of Solomon.
