Alphabet associations - I

Here's a J then, four closely-related elements: a king, a queen, a prophetess and a strong man are connected by this J

In view of the resounding silence, and what with it being late, and tomorrow morning being awash with Gallic rugby players of both hues, I'll give an overnight clue: the four individuals described are all Biblical.

strong man got to be Samson I guess
prophetesses we've got a choice, Deborah, Esther, Hannah, Miriam, Rachel, Rebecca, Sarah and more besides
lots of Kings
Queen Esther, Queen of Sheba
obviously Handel springs to mind with all these people
can't find any Js yet .......................
EDIT, however with Calorgas's liking for Belshazzar and Handel having done a Belshazzar I think I might make a stab at J = Jennens

Bravo mercia

Samson, Deborah the Prophetess and Queen Esther are right - as is the Handelian as well as the biblical link....

The King: well, not unrelated to the D question this round.

You're getting there!!

go on mercia my son!

[mercia]

is my Jennens wrong?
my EDIT was simultaneous with your post
King David in Messiah and Israel in Egypt, both Jennens scribblings
or perhaps one particular singer appeared in all of these, I wonder ..................................

[mercia]

are you still sampling the delights of Barthelona, AG?

[antongould]

No back on Grandson watch - do you ever go to bed?

[mercia]

do you ever go to bed?

yes, but not for very long

[antongould]

have we lost caliban to 15 frenchman or however many participate nowadays?

[Nick Armstrong]

Sorry folks, otherwise engaged. Jennens is wrong I'm afraid mercia... and it's not about singers either !

(Playing now anton !)

[mercia]

Jennens is wrong

fair enough
wild guess:- Judges (Book of)?
that's my final offer. over to someone else now.

No, not Judges either...

Any more offers? A clue seems in order.

I could have added to the 4 Handelian clues that the "J" also connects to J.S. Bach and Henry Purcell....

[antongould]

Struggling terribly caliban - JSB, HP and GFH wrote so little music................................
I fear the French were lucky!?

[Nick Armstrong]

Sorry folks I seem to have perpetrated a bit of a tough one.

Oh God.....*
