| Summary: | Thesubstantial groundwork for this dissertation consists in a series of very well-observed patterns within the biblical books of Samuel and Kings, taken together with much excellent comparative material. David's dynasty in Jerusalem lasted much longer than the Ancient Near East average, and most of the dynasties in northern Israel had correspondingly less staying power than that average. Lamb draws attention more resolutely than previous authors to the downs of the Jerusalem story on the one side, and the exceptional situation of the house of Jehu within Israel on the other. He notes that Jehu is presented as more like David than either Hezekiah or Josiah, the successors of David in Jerusalem who are most often compared with him. |
