What is an interesting research topic relating to the hebrew bible?

Compare the characteristics of the book of Deuteronomy to Suzerain treaties (a common treaty between king and subject).

What is an interesting research topic relating to the hebrew bible?
Once I did a paper on 'wisdom' depicted in feminine terms and perhaps the role of women as having wisdom for intro to judaism class. Now that I think about it, it could be borrowed from female goddesses of wisdom, pointing out the mythical influences of nearby religions. I've always liked that topic since it has nothing really religious about it... just simply on wisdom.
Reply:An overview of Strong's Concordance would be interesting.
Reply:The Bible says David wanted to marry the Daughter of Saul.





Saul tells him to bring 100 PENIS foreskins as a token.





David kills 200 Philistines and brings their Penile foreskins to Saul as dowry for his first wife (Saul's daughter Michal).





1 Samuel 18:27 -- Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife. [ http://bible.cc/1_samuel/18-27.htm ]
