The Transjordanian palimpsest : the overwritten texts of personal exile and transformation in the Deuteronomistic history / Jeremy M. Hutton. - Berlin ; New York : Walter de Gruyter, ©2009. - 1 online resource (xvii, 449 pages). - Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ; Bd. 396 . - Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ; 396. .
Significantly Revision of the author's thesis (Ph. D.)--Harvard University, 2005.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 379-419) and index.
Echoes of the past and topos as text -- Exiles and textiles : Transjordan in history -- Vexed texts : sources of the Deuteronomistic history -- Royal apology and scribalism in iron age Israel -- Of success and succession -- The mystery of the history of David's rise -- The narrative(s) of Saul's rise -- Conclusion: A composite motif.
This study analyzes several passages in the Former Prophets (2 Sam 19:12-44; 2 Kgs 2:1-18; Judg 8:4-28) from a literary perspective, and argues that the text presents Transjordan as liminal in Israel's history, a place from which Israel's leaders return with inaugurated or renewed authority. It then traces the redactional development of Samuel-Kings that led to this literary symbolism, and proposes a hypothesis of continual updating and combination of texts, beginning early in Israel's monarchy and continuing until the final formation of the Deuteronomistic History. Several source documents ma.
