This book explores, by way of narrative analysis, the story of
Jehu's revolt in 2 Kings 9 and 10, and the tensions and ambiguities
surrounding the evaluation of Jehu that it contains. In the
narrative, the Deuteronomist writes in many voices: the prophet(s),
the Lord, the narrator, even Jehu himself. The tension within the
Jehu narrative arises in the interaction of the various voices, and
careful study of these narrative voices reveals two primary
criteria for evaluating Jehu: faithful observance of correct
Deuteronomistic worship, that is, true Yahwistic worship in the
Jerusalem Temple; and faithful obedience to the prophetic word.
Each criterion is expressed in the narrative and, as a means of
finally resolving the ambiguity of the evaluative voices, the
narrative presents the criterion of worship in suppression over the
criterion of the prophetic word. The narrative analysis shows how
the Jehu narrative connects linguistically, thematically, and
analogically the larger Deuteronomistic History and provides
rubrics under which a Deuteronomistic theology of kingly
legitimation can be examined. The theology that arises from the
Jehu narrative in respect of kingly legitimation, traced through
the criteria of proper worship and the prophetic word, at times
adds unique emphases to the theology of kingly legitimation
presented in the history. At other times, it stands seamlessly with
the theology of the larger history. At all times, the theology of
worship and word shows the Jehu narrative ultimately cannot be real
successfully or fully in isolation from the surrounding text and
the theology presented there. Series editors, Claudia Camp and
Andrew Mein, were formerly of "Journal for the Study of the Old
Testament Supplement", a book series that featured original and
creative approaches to the interpretation of Old Testament
literature. "The Bible in the 21st Century" series, a part of
JSOTS, seeks to examine contemporary authoritative and cultural
meanings of bibles by focusing on the processes of transmission,
readership and actualization of biblical texts up to and including
the twenty-first century. The series explores issues related to
contemporary culture and the place of the bible and religion within
it. Copenhagen International Seminar is also part of JSOTS.
