AbstractHistoryArchive Description
According to contemporary news reports, the radio play 'took for its subject the love of King David for his son Absolom.'
The same reporter noted that 'Research revealed that the story was taken straight from the Biblical text, so that no flights of imagination were necessary and the author had only to concentrate on the dialogue. Even a great deal of this was provided by the Book of Samuel.'
