Immortality is Children and Land Ownership
Yoav (Joab) sends the wise woman from Tekoa to convine
David to reconcile with his estranged son Avshalom using a parable. Her one
son has allegedly killed her other son, with her surviving murdering son facing execution
himself. She states, “and so they shall quench my coal which is left, so as not
to leave my husband a name or a remainder upon the face of the
earth." Again we see that the two links to immortality in Tanach are
children and land ownership.
