The narratives of Solomon and Jeroboam, of Elijah and Ahab, have
fascinated readers for millennia. They are the principal foundation
of our knowledge of the history of Israel during the early years of
the divided monarchy, and their reliability and verifiability as
historical sources have long been the subject of intense scholarly
analysis and debate. But even apart from questions of historical
authenticity, they are gripping stories of richly drawn characters
caught up in the complex tale of Yahweh's dealings with Israel:
Solomon the wise is the builder of Yahweh's Temple, yet he becomes
an idolater; Jeroboam is chosen by Yahweh as king, yet he worships
the golden calves; Elijah is a prophet second only to Moses, yet he
tries to renounce his calling; and Ahab is the worst of Israel's
kings, yet shows traces of greatness. This study explores the
narrative world created by the ancient Israelite author - the
people who inhabit it, the lives they live and the deeds they do,
and the face of God who is revealed in their stories.
