With extraordinary range and literary energy, the story of
Absalom's rebellion in 2 Samuel ranks as the most elaborate and
extensively narrated internal political event in the Hebrew Bible,
complete with a host of scandalous and sordid events: illicit sex,
murder, cover-up, petty crime, to name a few. For many students
approaching the historical books of the Bible, however, texts often
fail to address the vitality of this most turbulent period of King
David's career. Bodner addresses this shortcoming with his The
Rebellion of Absalom, a lively analysis of the early monarchy of
Israel, written by a recognized commentator of the Bible's
historical books. Concise and insightful, each chapter
incrementally focuses on the stages of David's rise to power and
Absalom's early life and rebellion. Crucial issues in the
development of Israel's monarchy are embedded in this story,
including: royal legitimation divine election succession usurpation
divine and human punishment. The Rebellion of Absalom is a
student-friendly, culturally savvy approach to one of the most
important episodes in deciding how the kings of Israel would be
determined throughout the monarchic period.
