Die Hebraischen Und Griechischen Textformen Der Samuel- Und Koenigebucher
by Jong-Hoon Kim
Published 18 March 2009
The present study is concerned with the textual history of the Books of Samuel and of Kings, about which scholars have still not been able to agree. Various textual forms can be identified in these books, in both the Hebrew (MT, Qumran) and the Greek texts (?Kaige Recension?,?The Antiochian Text?). The text forms and their history are first analysed in more detail using 2 Sam 15:1-19:9. Working from this, the study then takes an overall view of the Books of Samuel and of Kings. Finally, a textual history is reconstructed from the 2nd century BCE up to the Middle Ages.
