DAVID IN THE DESERT KARTONIERT (TB)

In the course of the last two decades  both the historical reconstruction of the Iron I-Iron
IIA period in Israel and Judah and the literary-historical reconstruction of the Books of
Samuel have undergone major changes. With respect to the quest for the historical David  terms
like empire or Großreich have been set aside in favor of designations like mercenary or hapiru
leader  corresponding to the image of the son of Jesse presented in I Sam. At the same time 
the literary-historical classification of these chapters has itself become a matter of
considerable discussion. As Leonhard Rost's theory of a source containing a History of David's
Rise continues to lose support  it becomes necessary to pose the question once again: Are we
dealing with a once independent 'story of David' embracing both the HDR and the succession
narrative are there several independent versions of an HDR to be detected  or do I Sam 16-II
Sam 5* constitute a redactional bridge between older traditions about Saul on the one hand and
David on the other? In either case  what parts of the material in I Sam 16-II Sam 5 are based
on ancient traditions  and may therefore serve as a source for any tentative historical
reconstruction? The participants in the 2018 symposium at Jena whose essays are collected in
this volume engage these questions from different redaction-critical and archaeological
perspectives. Together  they provide an overview of contemporary historical research on the
book of First Samuel.
