Abstract

Focusing on the interpretations of the relationship between David and Michal, the paper analyses the way in which four selected twentieth century novels function as midrash, understood in its broad sense as literature which interacts with and interprets the biblical material. The article is centered around a set of questions, originally posed by David Clines vis-à-vis the biblical narrative. It also explores the answers offered to these questions by the authors and investigates how their modern perspectives influence their readings of the ancient tale. It argues that all the novels attempt to fill existing narrative gaps in the biblical text.
