The End of Jacob's Life
Jacob's relationship with his sons is very Arthurian in the sense that as soon as the round table is complete, everything falls apart. In chapter 34 they almost wipe out the people of Shekham and put him in great danger. And then later received a very negative judgment in chapter 49. We have something similar in the story of David. So Absalom is the one who almost wipes out the king's sons, it seems. He's like Levi and Simeon. The last son who will bring his father down to death.
