These short notices recounting a foreign invasion and the loss of \"national wealth\" have been explored only briefly among scholars applying their expertise to the analysis of the book of Kings or the study of the Jerusalem temple and royal palace, from both literary and historical perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis monograph aims to fill this lacuna. Adopting an approach that combines a more traditional form of literary criticism with a thorough analysis of the narrative role and intertextual connections giving shape to the texts (\u003cem\u003eSitz in der Literatur\u003c\/em\u003e), the book offers a more complex and nuanced appreciation of the literary development and ideological profile of the despoliation notices. In addition, it weighs the use of the underlying literary motif in the biblical writings against other Ancient Near Eastern sources. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis study not only provides new perspectives on the role of motifs in biblical historiography but has far-reaching implications for the reconstruction of the process of production and transmission of Kings as part of the Deuteronomistic History. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francisco Martins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110776111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110776119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Francisco Martins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419610464511,"sku":"9783110776119","price":140.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b9cafc1-e7b9-4660-b9e3-965743ab192e.jpg?v=1761512688","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/treasures-lost-francisco-martins-9783110776119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
