Synopsis

Discover the roots of Israel’s story through deep historical study and careful source analysis.

This volume surveys the pre-monarchic age and the early days of the monarchy, focusing on how the Book of Judges, the Books of Samuel and Kings, and related sources shape our view of ancient Israel.

In these pages, you’ll encounter a careful examination of how ancient Israel moved from village life to a structured state under the monarchy. The work explains how different sources were used, where they originate, and how editors shaped the narrative you read today. It also offers insights into the religious life, social changes, and political organization of the era, with attention to how culture and belief evolved under royal rule.

The discussion centers on the key historical periods and texts, including the stories of the Judges and the rise of kings, while highlighting the use and limits of the sources that illuminate this foundational era.

• What the Book of Judges contributes to the broader history
• How Samuel, Saul, and David are presented within early monarchy
• The role of kingship, writing, and administration in Israel
• Perspective on religion, culture, and moral life across the period

Ideal for readers of biblical history, early Israelite society, and students seeking a clear, evidence-based guide to the sources and structure of this pivotal era.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My theme has been the history of the Hebrews. But this terminates amid the ruins of ancient Jerusalem, under which we may say that the ancient Hebrew people found its grave. The history of I srael, it is true, goes farther; it is continued in the history of the Jews, and has not yet reached its end. Perhaps I may some day find time and opportunity to follow up the History of the Hebrews with a history of the Jews, at least in its earlier portion. The analysis of the text of the Book of Kings has been carried out on the presuppositions gained from the analysis of the Books of Judges and Samuel, of which I have given the results in the Translation of the Old Testament, edited by Kautzsch (1894). It was a satisfaction to me to see that, starting from these principles, I reached conclusions quite similar to those reached by the translator of the Book of Kings in Kautzsch swork, in which it should be noticed that the symbol Sa (in 1K ings) corresponds to my own symbol So. THE AUTHOR Breslau, May 1892. The quotations from the prophetical books in this volume are in accordance with the Ptevised Version.
