Rizpah

~1000 BCE, Gibeah and the hill of Saul

Daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul. After David surrendered seven of Saul's sons to the Gibeonites, who killed them and exposed their bodies, Rizpah spread sackcloth on a rock and kept vigil over the bodies through the entire harvest season — driving away birds by day and beasts by night — until the rains came. David heard what she had done and gave the bones proper burial.

On their voice

~1000 BCE. A woman who had no legal standing to demand what she wanted, so she chose the one action available to her: staying. The text gives her no speech — only the vigil. Her grief is stripped to its function.
