Page from the Belleville Breviary 1323-1326. The upper miniature shows Saul (11th century BC), Old Testament ruler, in a fit of jealous madness, threatening his son-in-law David who became the first king of the Judean dynasty of Israel. At bottom left, Cain kills his brother Abel, while at bottom right, a priest holds a wafer, representing the body of Christ, and a queen dispenses alms to beggars.
