They don't call it the greatest story ever told for no reason.
This is without doubt one of my favourite episodes in the entire Bible.
At incredible personal risk, a teenage girl saves the royal bloodline by hiding her tiny nephew away, Ann Frank-style, under the radar of her psychopathic and homicidal queen.
In doing so, she allows the continuation of David's line which, the Bible tells its readers, ultimately includes Jesus Christ.
Cometh the hour, cometh the woman,
Why she isn't more famous is a whole other question.
