Excerpt from The Messages of the Prophetic and Priestly Historians: The Writings of the Historians of the Old Testament, Arranged So as to Distinguish Their Principal Sources, and Freely Rendered in Paraphrase One of the greatest difficulties that besets, for the gen eral reader, the scientific study of the Old Testament is the absence of any easily accessible criterion to distinguish the original sources from the later redactional material. By typographical devices an attempt is here made to over come this difficulty, the original sources being always printed in plain type, and the redactional matter in italics, capitals, small or bold-faced type, as the case may be.1 Many of the difficulties will thus be found to vanish of themselves. All that is printed in plain type may be used as a basis for the study of the history, and I have sought, where possible, to make it read continuously. Brackets are used to indicate that the passage enclosed has no direct authority in the original text, but is supplied on high warrant for the sake of the connection. The poetry and the legislation interspersed throughout the historical books have been, with hardly any exceptions, omitted, as they are to be dealt with in other volumes of this series.

Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...hopes of vengeance for two long years, and finally, at a sheep-shearing festival to which he had invited all the king's sons, had Ammon slain, to the intense grief of David; for thus he lost not only his firstborn son, but also his darling Absalom, who fled to his royal grandfather,4 whose kingdom lay to the northeast of Israel. Joab, seeing how the king's heart was toward Absa-Absalom lom, and interested in his return for reasons of his own, backed sent to the king a wise woman of Tekoa with a feigned Jg0kj'e?1t) tale of the risk of death to which her first-born son was exposed by the clan law of blood-revenge--a tale which moved the king to a solemn oath to save her son from the avengers. Why then--she went on with a compli 1 The Hebrew consonants for " Milcom," the god of the Ammonites, and "their king," are the same.

So the LXX of v. a1. 4 Cf. 3: 3. ment to the king's discernment--why then will he not save his son by recalling him from banishment, as Ammon is dead and nothing can bring him back again? The shrewd king rightly suspected that Joab was behind the woman's word; and, turning to him, he gave him leave to bring Absalom back, which he gratefully did. But Absalom was not suffered to see the king's face for two whole years, when at last, by a bold stroke, he prevailed upon the reluctant Joab to intercede for him. The king then gave his son the kiss of reconciliation. Absalom's By the fitfulness of his dealing, however, David had Sard'sand forfeited the confidence of Absalom, who now began to flight (15) scheme for the throne, winning the people by fair promises of...
