Many scholars have approached both the origins of ancient city
laments in some of the oldest Sumerian texts and how this "genre"
found its way into the Tanakh/Old Testament. Randall Heskett goes a
step further. He uses both historical criticism and a form-critical
approach to analyze and assess "Lamentation and Restoration of
Destroyed Cities" as oral traditions of ancient Israelite prophetic
genres. He also shows how a later exilic/post-exilic redactional
framework may have semantically transformed older prophetic genres
about destruction and restoration to be reflexes of the events
around 587 BCE.
