What purpose does this literary device of numerical hyperbole serve? What rhetorical purposes do \u003ci\u003eany\u003c\/i\u003e of the numbers in this text serve? In \u003ci\u003eThe Rhetorical Use of Numbers in the Deuteronomistic History: \"Saul Has Killed His Thousands, David His Tens of Thousands,\"\u003c\/i\u003e Denise Flanders explores the variety of rhetorical effects that numbers have on the narrative of Joshua-2 Kings. Flanders demonstrates that numbers in Joshua-2 Kings often work in surprising and subversive ways. Rather than regularly glorifying a leader, large casualty numbers may actually anticipate a ruler's downfall. Rather than underscoring an Israelite battle victory, numbers sometimes qualify or undermine the triumph of victories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denise C.
