LISTENING TO DIANE Horning calls to mind the story of Rizpah in 2 Samuel.
Twelve autobiographical stories are told: Adah and Zillah, Dinah, Madam Potiphar, Zipporah, Rahab, Ruth and Orpah and Naomi, Rizpah, Tamar and Tamar, Zeruiah, Huldah, the anonymous woman from the Song of Songs, and the medium of Endor.
Sometimes we are privy to their Bible-study conversations, around the widow of Zarephath, say, or the obscure and agonizing text of Rizpah, the grieving mother.
