Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- Prolegomenon -- King David Three Thousand Years Later: David and My Orthopractic Experiences -- The Idea of a King David: Creating a Ruler, a Dynasty, and His Capital City Stories and History: David as Literary and Historical Figure -- The Strings of David’s Life -- David’s Laments as a Vehicle of Vindication -- Two Readings of the Story of David and Bathsheba and Their Meanings -- Counterpoint and Contrast: ‘Tamar Versus Tamar Verses’: A Focalized-Emphathetic Reading -- David as Son of Man: Hebrew Narratives of Divine Exaltation as Sources of Second Temple Son of Man Traditions (Psalms 2, 8, 72, 80 and 110) -- The Portrait of David: Comparing the Bible and Talmud -- King David: Six Portraits in Music -- Disappearing “Daughters” in the Tradition of David (Sir. 47:6)
Summary: David the king, when studied against the backdrop of existing material cultural remains from the ancient Middle East, scarcely seems to have been there. Excavations in Jerusalem have turned up nothing concrete about his existence. The literature concerning him is fraught with problems and generally takes on a legendary-mythological character. Even the meaning of his name is unclear. If he is mentioned at all by his contemporary monarchs against whom he would have fought it is only obliquely or only intimated by omissions or partial spellings in context. This volume attempts to advance scholarship addressing these concerns.
