Righteous Jehu and his Evil Heirs: The Deuteronomist's Negative Perspective on Dynastic Succession - описание и краткое содержание, автор Lamb David T. (EN), читать бесплатно онлайн на сайте электронной библиотеки Lib-King.Ru.

David T. Lamb examines not only the dynasty of Jehu within the narrative of 2 Kings, but also the broader context of the dynasties of Israel and Judah in the books of Kings and Samuel. Lamb discusses religious aspects of kingship (such as anointing, divine election, and prayer) in both the Old Testament and in the literature of the ancient Near East. He concludes that the Deuteronomistic editor, because of a deep concern that leaders be divinely chosen and obedientto Yahweh, sought to subvert the monarchical status quo by shaping the Jehuite narrative to emphasize that dynastic succession disastrously fails to produce righteous leaders.
