My People as Your People provides an in-depth analysis of the
chronology, history, and archaeology associated with the reign of
Jehoshaphat of Judah. The synthesis of these various elements
illuminates a diverse geo-political picture of the southern Levant
in the mid-ninth century BCE. In recent years, archaeologists and
biblical scholars have dealt quite extensively with the tenth and
eighth centuries BCE due to both the controversial aspects of
recent interpretations associated with the so-called United Kingdom
and the established archaeological data relating to Judah's rise as
a significant polity in the eighth century BCE. On the other hand,
the ninth century BCE has received considerably less scholarly
treatment, despite the fact that many new archaeological strata
have been uncovered in recent years that have a direct bearing upon
this period. My People as Your People is an attempt to fill this
gap in our knowledge. In accomplishing this, it both provides a
nuanced understanding of Judah in the mid-ninth century BCE and
also demonstrates the significance of this period in the larger
setting of the history of the Divided Kingdom.
