In this book, Hye Kyung Park examines the functions and roles of
the women who appear in the Elijah and Elisha narratives. The named
and unnamed female characters in the Elijah and Elisha cycles
frequently drive the plot of these narratives, giving a voice to
important theological, historical, and social concerns that are
otherwise overlooked. Consequently, this book elaborates upon the
critical meaning of women's voices through a close interpretation
of the roles and functions attributed to women in 1 Kings 17:8-24;
2 Kings 4:8-37, 5, and 8:1-6. These female figures and presences
include the Zarephath woman in 1 Kings 17:8-24, twenty-nine
third-person feminine verbs to emphasize the Shunammite woman's
frequent appearances in 2 Kings 4:8-37, the Israelite girl as a
prophetess in 2 Kings 5, and the Shunammite woman's return in 2
Kings 8:1-6. Even though the various women in 1 Kings and 2 Kings
have not been named throughout the biblical traditions, their
presence and actions were crucial for advancing the prophetic
narratives concerning Elijah and Elisha. Indeed, the women are
crucial to the Elijah and Elisha narratives, both in terms of
advancing the plot of the narratives and defining the roles of the
prophets presented within.
