Descripción
Sumario:This article offers an historical and archaeological reconstruction of the person and status of Gedaliah ben Ahikam recounted at 2 Kgs 25.22-26 and Jeremiah 40-41. It builds upon Joseph Blenkinsopp's recent (2013) defence of the controversial theory, first proposed by Miller and Hayes (1986), that Gedaliah was installed at Mizpah as a Judahite client king of Nebuchadnezzar II. It suggests that elements of Joel Weinberg's (2007) more conservative reconstruction can be applied constructively to the hypothesis of Gedaliah as Judah's non-Davidide king. Future studies of Neo-Babylonian Judah must take seriously the possibility that there was, for a while, a rump Kingdom of Judah established around Mizpah in Benjamin.
