Jerusalem Throne Games explores the political battle for power to
succeed David expressed through selected stories from the beginning
of the Book of Genesis. In these confrontations, combatants wielded
a new weapon of war that was changing the course of human history,
the alphabet prose narrative. With this weapon, competing factions
battled for throne not with the blog, the op ed, the tweet or the
essay, but through storytelling. In this book six of those stories
from Gen. 4-11 are analysed through the lens of the succession of
Solomon and the collapse of his kingdom. These stories are
identified as "son" stories or supplements to the existing alphabet
narrative from the time of David. They were written by the various
factions or priesthoods vying for power and are political in
nature. Each story, the Sons of Cain, the Sons of Seth, the Sons of
God, the Sons of Noah, the Son of Cush (Nimrod), and the Sons of
men (Tower of Babel), is reviewed through selected commentaries
from ancient times to the leading ones of the 20th century. These
tensions raised highlight the need to revise the Documentary
Hypothesis, the traditional scholarly approach for understanding
the writing of these stories. A new Documentary Hypothesis is
proposed for the writer known as J, the traditional author of these
six stories. It presents the creation of supplemental and
interactive writing by the Levites, Zadokites, and Aaronids who
battled for power to name, dominate, and influence the person on
the throne. The story of Jerusalem throne games began with the
death of David and continued for centuries. The goal in this book
is to understand the creation and meaning of those stories in their
original political context in the time of Solomon.
