Goodbye Shulamite!

This is a fictional story based on the Bible characters mentioned. King Solomon is obsessed with his love for a woman he cannot have. Power is on his side, but spiritual history, the fear of repeating the sins of his father King David against his mother's first husband, haunt him. The one woman he felt was worth the whole kingdom to him takes his jealousy to another level. She marries beneath King Solomon's status denying him a rival he can fight with. Emmanuel Ben Judah is a Shepherd who wins the heart of a woman pursued by the wisest, richest, and most powerful man in the land. As a last resort, King Solomon decides to take his fight to Abishag in a song. The Song of Solomon is both an attack on her and hopeless attempt to woo her back. The King's adviser insists he must let go of this woman if he is to enjoy his life as a king.
