| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to examine the personal names of various figures described in the book of Judges and to consider their relationship to the onomastics of Iron Age Palestine. In particular, the concern is to define whether or not the personal names exhibit similarities to others in the period of Iron I or whether they resemble names of individuals in later periods in terms of their elements and structure. It will be argued that, at least in some cases, there is a distinctive relationship to the onomastics of Iron I that is not attested in the inventory of names from later periods. Thus this allows for consideration of these names as providing a window into the identity of Israel and its neighbors in the Iron I period. |
