Since the seventies, no study has examined the methodologies of
Josephus' rewriting of an entire biblical book as part of his
Judean Antiquities. This book attempts to fill this vacuum by
exploring Josephus' adaptation of the books of Samuel, penetrating
the exegetical strategies he employs to modify the biblical stories
for his intended audience. Through meticulous comparison of the
biblical narrative and Josephus' Antiquities, broader issues - such
as Josephus' attitude towards monarchy and women - gradually come
to light, challenging long-held assumptions. This definitive
exploration of Josephus' rewriting of Samuel illuminates the
encounter between the ancient texts and its relevance to scholarly
discourse today.
