Comparison of the Two Deuteronomistic History Sources
When we look at the record book associated with both of these germs, it is evident that there argon differences in the narration of events concerning the nobble of David as big businessman of Israel and also in his reign as king. To drive the comparison of these two different witnesss, the following are observations that I curb made concerning stories that are present in the Tremendously Hi humbug source still absent In the other(priestly) source.To begin with, In 1 Samuel get In chapter 1741 through verse 51, there Is an broadside of David slaying Goliath when he was a youth, and still small In stature, that Is not In the Chronicles. Then, the accounts of David being Installed In fagot Sails court and the later(prenominal) conflict between David and tabby Saul including Davits fleeing from Saul and other cogitate events in 1 Samuel 16 through 2 Samuel 1, is not mentioned at all in the Chronicles.Also, the conflict between the kinfolk of Saul and the abide of David co ncerning who would be king of all of Israel after Sails death that is in 2 Samuel 2 through 2 Samuel 53, is not mentioned in the Chronicles. notably absent from the Chronicles also, is the story of Davits lust for Batches that resulted in an adulterous affair which precipitated his demoralize of power that led to the death of Bathers husband Uriah so that David could take Batches to be his wife.This chain of events, and the devastating results that followed for Davits family, as a result of this sin, Is recorded In 2 Samuel 11-20. The Chronicler states In 1 Chronicles 1 1 that David was proclaimed king everywhere all of Israel where 2 Samuel 24 states that he was establish king over all of Judas. Also notable, Is the omission of the battle In 2 Samuel 2118-22, where David is almost killed. Another story that was very crimson in tauter that was also omitted in the Chronicles was referenced in 2 Samuel 211-14, which is the story of how David had seven of Sails descendants put to d eath.The story concerning Abscissas service to an decrepit King David in 1 Kings 1-4, is not present in the Chronicles either. Also, Davits wake up to Solomon concerning avenging the death of Banner and punishing Scheme for the curse that he had set(p) upon David in 1 Kings 21-2, is not noted in the Chronicles When I looked at 1 Chronicles, there were things present in this book that are not mentioned In the Tremendously History source concerning King David.In 1 Chronicles 21 26, fire consumes Davits sacrifice which Is not noted In 2 Samuel 2425. Also, I could not find a narration In the books of Samuel or Kings that paralleled the one In 1 Chronicles 22-29, which tells of David doing much of the preparation for the make implies that there was no opposition to Solomon being appointed the next king, but 1 Kings chapters 1 and 2 tell a different story. In Samuel, the author presents the story of Davits family, victories over enemies, and recounts the moving of the ark of the covena nt.In 1 Chronicles, King Davits story is told in a different parade the paving of the ark, family, victories over enemies, and whence when the move of the ark is completed. Why is the story told in a different order by each source? In both of the sources, the story of King David is written to preserve the Jewish nations history, but in a discriminating way, according to the perspective of the source(author or authors).From the Deterministic History point of view, the books of 1 and 2 Samuel and the first part of the book of 1 Kings that deal with King David, were tone backward and expressing the feelings of penitence. The breaking of the covenant with WHY, at mimes by David, by willful disobedience resulted in consequences. Ultimately, 1 and 2 Kings, show how Israel, below the reign of the Advice monarchy, ending up in captivity.The answer to the question of why King Davits story is told is a different order by the other(priestly) source than it is by the Deterministic History source is that the other(priestly) source wanted to emphasise King Davits concern for the worship payoff and for his temple. This aspect of the Advice monarchy is related in order to establish a link between the house of David(monarchy) and the house of Aaron(priests). The other(priestly) source provided an account of an unsullied and glorious king who was victorious over all of Israels foes.The passages of scripture about David that do not fit this unblemished image were simply left out. This image of King David gave the Israelites hope that as he was so will their Messiah be, perfect and victorious. So, instead of looking to the past, the other(priestly) source sought to look forward in hope to Israels future. The accomplish of critical reading has been an enlightening one for me. I used The sensitive Oxford Annotated Bible, New Revised Standard Version, that I purchased for this class and I let found t to be an extremely valuable resource.
