Sons of the Flaming Throne 3 – Ch. 6 | KT OLLA

RIGHT after the queen had whispered her words of reassurance, her mind ran back to grasp what God had once sent through Nathan to David.

It was long before the woman had met with the king, that the prophet spoke of a child she’d bear for him. And she learned about that future only when the boy came.

Indeed, you shall bear a son, who shall be a man of peace; and I will give him peace from all his enemies all about.

His name shall be Solomon, for I will give Israel peace and quietness in his time.

He shall build a temple for Me, and he shall be My son and I will be his Father.

Then if he is steadfast to keep my law and precepts, I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever!

Now when Bathsheba remembered, she found the strength to believe.

Solomon must reign, she said to herself. My son must rule because God chose Him!

She turned to the prophet of God and asked, ‘Tell me, sir; what must I do?’

Nathan knew the queen was back. That her fright had given way to faith, and her faith had found the strength to work.

Then if there was anything he was learning then, it was that all waters are born peaceful, and all can run forceful.

That the matter of God’s great kingdom was one of faith and fierceness. One of water, but hot water.

So the prophet gave instructions.

‘You must go to the King at once and ask him about the promise he made to you concerning Solomon, in line with the prophecy about him.

‘Then you shall tell him about Adonijah’s plan and what he is doing at the valley spring to crown himself King.

‘Then you will ask him to save you and Solomon your son before the Fourth Prince slays you after he passes on.’

Bathsheba nodded with attention.

Nathan went on. ‘Now while you are still talking, I will come in from outside to tell the King the same news...

‘And by this I will confirm your story and add the needed weight to this great matter.’

The queen felt quite grateful. She noted everything Nathan said and asked to swing to action immediately.

The prophet was amazed at her boldness. He saw that she’d caught the fire.

‘The Lord grant you favour, Your Majesty! And look, I am following right after you!’

Bathsheba bowed to say amen. And then she mumbled the prophet’s promise again.

‘Everything will be well,’ she said. ‘Everything will be!’

Knighted Again – Ch.13 | KT OLLA

MAQWELA caught the smile on Nile’s face as he turned back to him. He knew why the boy smiled, yet he liked him more. Those were some things of innocence that he missed. The king liked people who wouldn’t cower when he used power. Unlike how he’d tremble as a boy when his late father abused the right. Yes, he liked folks who still retained their peace as they grew. Like those cute youngsters listening to him. So the monarch resumed, but he preferred to go the earnest way. ‘Now like I said earlier, that nobody enters here except Maqwela passes them – you must also know that nobody hears the things I’ll be speaking now unless we tell them! ‘Now I know you’re smart enough to know what I said – and what I left unsaid!’ The duo braced up and gestured with a nod. They knew the weight of that sentence and were ready to keep the monarch’s secret. They knew they were about to hear a blast. And so they braced up for it. Right then the middle-aged heaved a deep breath, crossed his arms over his ch...

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...

Wanted Here – Ch.23 | KT OLLA

BEAKERS broke and crashed on the ground. So the splinters went littering the laboratory. Still the one who caused the damage only stood and watched… And then she walked out of the place without looking back. It was as if the 28-year-old didn’t cared a moment. But she cared too much she cried a bucket. June Martinez had stepped in her laboratory right behind her home. It was a facility sitting on an acre of land that equally hosted their large villa. The property was both home and office to the brilliant couple. They had their villa furnished with everything comfort. Then they got two labs built into a structure behind it. With only a glass partition in-between. Carl did his work in one part of the structure, while June used the other part as her laboratory. Now it’d been quite a while June had wanted to return to her lab. She once only talked about getting back and wouldn’t dare to step a foot in the lab. Then months passed and she made more progress. She got to put on her coat to retu...
