In this book, Isabel Cranz offers the first systematic study of
royal illness in the Books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles.
Applying a diachronic approach, she compares and contrasts how the
different views concerning kingship and illness are developed in
the larger trajectory of the Hebrew Bible. As such, she
demonstrates how a framework of meaning is constructed around the
motif of illness, which is expanded in several redactional steps.
This development takes different forms and relates to issues such
as problems with kingship, the cultic, and moral conduct of
individual kings, or the evaluation of dynasties. Significantly,
Cranz shows how the scribes living in post-monarchic Judah expanded
the interpretive framework of royal illness until it included a
message of destruction and a critique of kingship. The physical and
mental integrity of the king, therefore, becomes closely tied to
his nation and the political system he represents.
