This work argues that 2 Sam 8:15-20:26 is a literary unit designed
to show how David and his house failed to establish "justice and
righteousness" during David's reign over all Israel. After an
introductory chapter and a chapter on critical methodology the rest
of the work is a close reading of 2 Sam 8:15-20:26 that pays
special attention to narrative ethics. Chapter 3 makes a case for
reading 2 Sam 8:15-20:26 as a coherent literary unit reflecting an
ethical world-view grounded in kindness and having as its main
theme "the failure of justice and righteousness to be established
during David's reign." Chapter 4 presents a case for reading 2 Sam
8:15-10:19 as an account of the beginnings of justice and
righteousness during David's reign in which David's kindness
towards Mephibosheth is presented as analogous to a Mesopotamian
royal declaration and was performed as an inaugural act of charity
upon David's ascent to the throne.
