Sons of the Flaming Throne 3 – Ch. 13 | KT OLLA

THAT day when Solomon ascended the throne of David, it was a glorious tale of things to come.

The man walked out of the king’s court where he’d bowed low before his father to receive a blessing...

Then, heading out with the diadem crowning his head, he marched in a royal procession towards the palace hall, towards the throne room of Israel’s kings.

Now at this time his heart mused on King David’s words. It was a song, the twenty-fourth one in his Book of Songs.

So he humed that piece, and pondered:

Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?

Or who may stand in His holy place?

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

Who has not lifted his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive blessing from the LORD,

And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Those words were those that had kept Solomon going. And those were the same that had crowned him king.

Now, the young monarch’s heart raced its beat while the train came on the palace hall; as the place sheltered the throne, the flaming one, for which some had bled and others died.

It was the throne, the one of splendour which many had loved but one was taking.

It was that seat, that place called the Flaming Throne.

So at that time, the Seventh Son travelled back the years. Back through the battle of the heirs that lasted a time without end. Back through the saga of the First, and the Third, and the Fourth Heirs.

And when he raised his head to see the palace house, he jolted out of his ponder about that song of climbing high... that song of every ascent.

Now the man stepped back when he looked up and saw the place. He’d forgotten that some giant doors stood there to bar entry.

 But it was mercy that called him up there, else the Seventh One wouldn’t have ventured.

But those proud gates, they were a huge wide thing in a giant arched gateway.

They were rods, and iron, and walls. They were barricades and everything gate.

Still, despite the proud barrier which stood on the way, the royal horn sounded and within a moment the doors were flung open.

Metal doors creaked and cried like they would split to pieces; but within them was the throne seat waiting and doing nothing.

Solomon glared past the open doors. He gazed and he could almost cry.

Now as the new king stepped into the hall of power, he admitted that this was prophecy coming true. Yet they were mere tales of times to come.

For at the end of all time, the people knew, a great King of David’s seed would reign and restore all things.

And not a wall or the world would stop Him.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
