Opis: Critical Notes on Old Testament History - Cook Stanley Arthur

Excerpt from Critical Notes on Old Testament History: The Traditions of Saul and David

The publication of the present studies is due to the liberal-minded editors of the Jewish Quarterly Review in whose hospitable pages, always open to biblical research, they first appeared. They began with the attempt to make an independent investigation of early Hebrew history to the time of David, and, taking their rise in an examination of a number of detailed points some years ago when the Encyclopaedia Biblica was in course of preparation, form the continuation of the preliminary article on the Composition of 2 Samuel, published in the American Journal of Semitic Languages, April, 1900.

After a discussion of certain historical questions in 2 Samuel (section i, J. Q. R., July, 1905), I have dealt independently with Saul and the narratives which lead up to his rise. The evidence appeared to show that many of the older narratives which have gathered around the first king of Israel were not trustworthy, and that in their present form they are the result of certain processes of redaction, the character and relative age of which can usually be determined (sections ii - iv, J, Q. Jr., October, 1905, January, April, 1906). The oldest of the traditions had points of contact with the old stories of Joshua and with certain features in the patriarchal narratives. Next, although several write is have recognized the importance of Kadesh in early traditions, and admit the possibility of a distinct movement into Judah, an independent study seemed to show that the traditions in question belonged to a specific group which pointed to a movement into both Israel and Judah (sections v - vi, J. Q. R., July, October, 1906). By this time the stage was reached where the reconciliation of the evidence with modern critical views of early Israelite history became impossible.
