Sons of the Flaming Throne 3 – Ch. 8 | KT OLLA

PORAH delivered her news to the Seventh Prince. She shared that tiding, that shock about the Fourth One’s coronation.

Truly, the maiden’s words called for urgent plans, as her words could stir fire in the soul.

But nothing altered Solomon’s quietness. He heard and smiled, and dismissed the girl.

Porah was surprised but not quite much, as she’d heard an earful about the prince called Peaceful.

She’d heard he wouldn’t flinch nor fear at anything that made men panic. As the people said, he was like water... like the still clear waters. Or like the steady pour of showers in a flood.

So in that instant when the Seventh flaunted his grace, the Egyptian lass couldn’t help but fall for him anew. She lingered when he dismissed her and wished he could ask her in.

Solomon had stood at his door throughout the whole talk. He’d held the door open midway and had neither stepped out nor stepped in.

But then already, he was stepping back inside.

Porah glared at the man that had never seen fear, then she took her own courage to the limit.

She held the door herself with a small grip. Then she whispered and said, ‘Please!’

It was in one moment that everything else stopped. All motion and emotion stopped to bow. And two young hearts skipped a beat.

But things stopped in one tiny moment. For the next instant the man yanked the door off her slender grip, and shut himself in.

He knew that game so much. He knew it all too much to fear.

Now the fearless nature which rumours held about the prince, was only a perspective of him. The man most times wasn’t on top of his situations.

Yet his focus always on what mattered was that thing that made him stay fearless and great. As it was the case with the whole matter on ground.

Solomon turned back to the report he heard as he entered his house. He knew already about the Fourth One’s plan to rule, and nothing of the conspiracy was new to him.

Yes, he’d made his servants report to him about his rival’s struggle for power. Yet he’d feared to go out and fight for it.

The prince had watched how the Third One did so and fell. So he knew that wasn’t the way to go.

Even still, Solomon wanted the throne like the others wanted it, as he’d just heard the news which his servants hadn’t reported. The news that the crown was going to the Fourth.

Now his heart went up in a tempest and he feared for what was coming. But nobody saw the young man’s fears, for all that people could see was a man without a soul.

But no, he’d got fear in his soul. He’d got fear as his best caution.

So right there in the secrecy of his house, he fell on his face and cried.

He called to the help in time of trouble.

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...
