The a royal tradition of the northern kingdom and its ramificationsRobker, Jonathan Miles.creatortextbibliographyElectronic books.Criticism, interpretation, etc.History.Electronic books.gwBerlinBostonDe Gruyter©20122012monographiceng1 online resource (ix, 343 pages).Who wrote the material about Jehu in the Bible, when and why did they write it, and how reliable is it? After a thorough text and literary critical examination of 2 Kings 9-10, this work demonstrates the plausibility of an 8th century origin for the Jehu narrative, which did not exist as an isolated literary tradition, but represented a part of a larger story of Israel's monarchic history. Ultimately, this book offers a new redaction-historical evaluation of Kings and a historical reconstruction of the events behind the Jehu narrative based on biblical and extrabiblical literature.Introduction : objectives and methodology -- The literary Jehu : a construct and its ramifications -- The Jehuide dynasty -- The Israel source in the Book of Kings : from Jeroboam II through Joram -- Historicity and the Bible : evaluating the biblical materials for reconstructing Israel's history -- Akkadian sources -- Levantine epigraphy : Tel Dan, Mesha, Zakkur, Samarian materials -- Conclusions.Jonathan Miles Robker.Includes bibliographical references and index.a-is---aw-----Criticism, interpretation, etcKing of IsraelJehuJehuite dynasty9th-8th centuries B.CCriticism, RedactionHistory of Biblical eventsKing of IsraelJehuJehuite dynasty9th-8th centuries B.CKing of IsraelJehuJehuite dynasty9th-8th centuries B.CJewsKings and rulersJewsHistoryTo 586 B.CMiddle EastAntiquitiesRELIGIONBiblical StudiesOld TestamentAntiquitiesHistory of Biblical eventsJewsJewsKings and rulersMiddle East To 586 B.C. fast BS410 .Z5 vol. 435eb222/.54095Robker, Jonathan Miles.Berlin ; Boston : De Gruyter, ©2012(DLC) 2012012783(OCoLC)7937264749783110285017311028501012836281129781283628112394056 MILhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=494268http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=494268N$T12110520200709055619.0ocn815970740eng
