When a quiet journey to Jerusalem turns tragic, newly orphaned Rimona must flee a kinsman set on selling her as a slave. Racing into the rocky hills outside of Hebron, Rimona is rescued by a Philistine commander journeying to Jerusalem with six-hundred warriors.
Exiled commander, Ittai the Gittite, is seeking refuge in the City of David. Protecting a frantic Hebrew woman is not in his leadership plan. Although, having a nobleman's niece in his caravan might prove useful for finding shelter in a foreign land. Rimona and Ittai arrive in Jerusalem on the eve of a rebellion. In the chaos of an heir's betrayal, will they be separated forever, or can they defend King David and help the aging monarch control his rebellious son?
Publisher: Pelican Book Group (Harbourlight Books)

My Review
Can they find love despite their different pasts?
I listened to a lot of audiobooks during the year that didn't happen and amongst them were two titles from Barbara M. Britton. I was intrigued by the way she took such a small hardly noticeable part of the Bible and fashioned a Biblically accurate series, The Daughters Of Zelophehad, out of it. Defending David is the first one that I've read and not listened to.
Though the subject matter is a little bit more well known, David, his 600 men, and the revolt lead by his son Absalom, I was again impressed with Barbara M. Britton's storytelling ability to entertain without sacrificing the true details in the Bible. I'm fairly familiar with the story of David, though it's been awhile since I read it straight through, but much of the story came back to me and I also learned a new thing or two in Defending David that I didn't remember from before.
I'll confess that, although it's the fourth book in the Tribes Of Israel series, this is the first one that I've read. However, I really do think a person can read them individually or properly in order.
Defending David equal parts entertaining, interesting, and faith inspiring. Once again, just as I had anticipated, Barbara M. Britton has done a good job and I really do look forward to reading the other books in the Tribes Of Israel series...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Defending David by Barbara M. Britton a 4 Bark rating.
