"If he commands you to burn [kill] children, your lord is evil." -- Ser Davos Seaworth
Genesis 22:1-2, 9-10
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. [...]
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Deuteronomy 3.3-6
So the Lord our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
Numbers 21:33-35
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and og the king of bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at edrei.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
Numbers 31:1-3, 17-18
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian. [...]
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Regarding Abraham, believers always wail "bUt gOd wAs nEvEr gOiNg tO LeT hIm KiLL hIs sOn!!"
Okay, question: did Abraham pass the test, or fail the test? Did god want someone as his prophet who would unquestioningly murder his own son, or did he want someone who would find such a command barbaric and insane? The problem isn't what god would have done, it's what Abraham would have done, and why god would find that desirable in an ideal messenger.
And never mind Isaac, what about all the other children that god ordered be murdered, or murdered himself?
Genesis 7:19-23
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
Your god is evil.

“You burned a little girl alive!” “I only do what my lord command.” “If he commands you to burn children, your lord is evil! […] I loved that girl like she was my own.

She was good. She was kind. And you killed her.”

Rewatching the scene of Tormund and Davos talking before the Battle of the Bastards, they both agree that Jon Snow is not a king. But he is the rightful king of the seven kingdoms. By birthright, the Iron Throne should be Jon's. And doesnt that natural ability to lead and inspire kind of give credence to the monarchal idea that some people just have a divine right to rule. That goes completely against the ending of the series, where they introduce elected kings. An elected king that has shown zero leadership skills in the past and is expected by the fans to eventually fail as a king. Are D&D monarchists??

Will someone appear disguised as Ser Davos Seaworth?
In Melisandre’s chapter in A Dance With Dragons, she mentions a bag of finger bones as an example of something that can be used to help maintain a glamor. And during the Battle of the Blackwater, Davos loses the finger bones that he keeps in a bag around his neck.
It’d be interesting. Arianne is in the Stormlands right now, and she did just come through Rainwood. Will she or Jon Connington stop at Rainwood again and meet “Davos”?
Then again, the plot in the books is already so damned complicated. It’s an interesting idea, but ultimately inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
