In the course of the last two decades, both the historical
reconstruction of the Iron I-Iron IIA period in Israel and Judah
and the literary-historical reconstruction of the Books of Samuel
have undergone major changes. With respect to the quest for the
"historical David", terms like "empire" or "Grossreich" have been
set aside in favor of designations like "mercenary" or "hapiru
leader", corresponding to the image of the son of Jesse presented
in I Sam. At the same time, the literary-historical classification
of these chapters has itself become a matter of considerable
discussion. As Leonhard Rost's theory of a source containing a
"History of David's Rise" continues to lose support, it becomes
necessary to pose the question once again: Are we dealing with a
once independent 'story of David' embracing both the HDR and the
"succession narrative" are there several independent versions of an
HDR to be detected, or do I Sam 16-II Sam 5* constitute a
redactional bridge between older traditions about Saul on the one
hand and David on the other? In either case, what parts of the
material in I Sam 16-II Sam 5 are based on ancient traditions, and
may therefore serve as a source for any tentative historical
reconstruction? The participants in the 2018 symposium at Jena
whose essays are collected in this volume engage these questions
from different redaction-critical and archaeological perspectives.
Together, they provide an overview of contemporary historical
research on the book of First Samuel.

The study examines the five prayers known as Jeremiaha (TM)s
confessions (Jer 11,18-12,6; 15,10-21; 17,14-18; 18,18-23; 20,7-18)
in their immediate and wider context. Are they older or younger
than the texts surrounding them? What is their significance in the
Book of Jeremiah? The analysis aims to demonstrate how the form of
the propheta (TM)s apparently personal prayer is used to highlight
the theological problem of unjust suffering. This process is
carried out in a number of steps which consider not only Jer 11-20,
but also Jer 1-20; 1-45, and finally 1-51.
