David's Jerusalem

- Between Memory and History

Om David's Jerusalem

The history of David¿s Jerusalem remains one of the most contentious topics of the ancient world. This study engages with debates about the nature of this location by examining the most recent archaeological data from the site and by exploring the relationship of these remains to claims made about David¿s royal center in biblical narrative. Daniel Pioske provides a detailed reconstruction of the landscape and lifeways of early 10th century BCE Jerusalem, connected in biblical tradition to the figure of David. He further explores how late Iron Age (the Book of Samuel-Kings) and late Persian/early Hellenistic (the Book of Chronicles) Hebrew literary cultures remembered David¿s Jerusalem within their texts, and how the remains and ruins of this site influenced the memories of those later inhabitants who wrote David¿s Jerusalem into the biblical narrative.
