Dear List,

Let me add this evidence to my thesis that Psalm 2 stems for the monarchy of 
either Solomon or Rehoboam.  I submit that its attitude of drunken and cruel 
despotism matches that attributed to Rehoboam in the following text, in which 
we have his less than sympathetic response to Jeroboam's request on behalf of 
the North for relief:

My little finger is thicker than my father's d_ck!  Whereas my father loaded 
you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you 
with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions! (1 Kings 12:10b-11)


How can such a political stance be found amidst the Maccabean period? I n my 
mind that notion is patently absurd.

L. M. Barre, Ph.D.
