Die Geschichte von der Thronfolge Davids (2 Sam 9–20; 1 Kön 1–2) : Untersuchungen zur Literarkritik und Tendenz

This book is a revised version of a dissertation, mentored by Dr. Ludwig Schmidt. Seiler proposes to examine the contrasting positions of Leonhard Rost (Die Überlieferung von der Thronnachfolge Davids [BWANT 3; Stuttgart: Kohlhammer, 1926) and Ernst Würthwein (Die Erzählung von der Thronfolge Davids, theologische oder politische Geschichtsschreibung? [ThStud 115; Zurich: Theologischer Verlag, 1974]) on the unity and purpose of the history of the succession to David's throne (2 Samuel 9-20; 1 Kings 1-2). Rost argues for a largely unified work written to glorify Solomon and to justify his succession to the Davidic throne. Würthwein maintains that the original work was strongly opposed to the Davidic and Solomonic dynasty, and that a subsequent redactor, who was much in favor of the dynasty, substantially reworked the original by adding many sections favorable to David and Solomon. The series Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft (BZAW) covers all areas of research into the Old Testament, focusing on the Hebrew Bible, its early and later forms in Ancient Judaism, as well as its branching into many neighboring cultures of the Ancient Near East and the Greco-Roman world. BZAW welcomes submissions that make an original and significant contribution to the field; demonstrate sophisticated engagement with the relevant secondary literature; and are written in readable, logical, and engaging prose.
