I did leave out Nelson and Hamilton. Back when I lived in Bonn, Germany, there were two pizzerias: The Lord Nelson and the Lady Hamilton.
No, David had several wives, including one named Bathsheba and one named Michal. Michal was Jonathan's sister. He never wrote them poems, though. His love for Jonathan was 'above the love of women'. (And he was 'a man after God's own heart'.)
It was Solomon, David's son, who allegedly had the thing for the Queen of Sheba. That may be gossip, though.
