In the novel "The Bronze Bow" by Elizabeth George Speare, Joel fears Jairus because Jairus is the Roman centurion who killed Joel's father. The centurion represents the oppressive Roman occupation of Israel, and Joel harbors deep resentment towards him for the loss of his father. Additionally, Jairus wields significant power and authority over Joel's village, adding to his fear and sense of vulnerability.
