In reply to the discussion: Rep. Louie Gohmert: I’m no prophet but Netanyahu could be the next King David [View all]classof56
(5,376 posts)He forgot a few kings starting with the first one, Saul, who was about as whacked out as Gohmert, obsessed with killing David, finally fell on his own sword. Then there's Ahab, hubby to Jezebel, a pair to draw to. Ahab was known as the worst king of Israel evah. Then the kingdoms split, and along came Rehoboam and Jeroboam and a bunch of other kings who ranged from bad to extra bad. Couple of good ones here and there, but according to my study, after Jerusalem's fall to Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar appointed Zedekiah the last king of Israel and promptly proceeded to utterly demolish the city. Not sure why Gohmert would convey kingly status to Ben Gurion, but hey--he knows his history, so he's probably got a good reason.
Either that or he's a flaming brainless idiot. My money's on that.
