Description

Explore a deep linguistic and poetic analysis of the narrative sequence concerning David in 2 Samuel 5.17-7.29. This scholarly work from Bloomsbury provides a close reading of a text central to the Davidic story, utilizing the specific tools of linguistic pragmatics and poetics to uncover hidden layers of meaning. The author examines how the text promotes a prophetic-based ideology through polemical rhetoric. By analyzing the tension between David and Yahweh, the book explores the fundamental opposition between the concepts of king (melek) and leader (nagid). This study places the narrative within the broader context of ancient Near Eastern royal ideology and the book of Samuel. Readers will gain a better understanding of how the text develops these oppositions and its reflection on the supreme mediacy of the prophetic word. This volume is an essential resource for those studying the Hebrew Bible, Old Testament studies, and the intersection of language and theology in ancient texts.
