So we shall see.
Also I remember Ben playing the part of King David in one episode. He sent Goodwin in a position where he would likely die (Mr. Eko's camp) so he could pursue Juliette. King David did this to Bathsheba's husband... Can't remember his name. I do believe it was King David who did this though. Maybe it will be a David and Goliath thing with Ben and whomever... (Just fun longshot predictions now)
My recollection of these stories is a little shaky so you may want to look these up. Correct me if I am wrong.

It does have a lot of biblical stories and allusions to those types of stories. However, it's their own take on it and I don't think it's going to turn out to be a biblical story. In a weird and twisted sense, it's David and J.J's take on the world. So obviously it's going to draw on a lot of things that have resonated with them, but at the end we're not going to be able to point at one thing and say 'oh it's a bible story', because it's so much more than that.
