| Drawing upon Old Testament texts, especially from Genesis, Kings, Psalms, and Isaiah, the author establishes the importance of the queen mother in the Davidic kingdom. There are appropriately placed excursuses on--forgive me for the lengthy lists, but they're really good--"Women in Israelite Ritual and Law," "The Character and Personality of Moses," "Covenant" (including an excerpt from a Hittite treaty), "The Ideology of the Davidic Monarchy," "Music in Ancient Israel," and "The Development of Beliefs in Life after Death in Ancient Israel," among others. Possibly written during the heady early years of the Davidic monarchy or later as a theological reflection on the constitution of the community after the exile, the Yahwist account serves as a family history of Israel. |
