Between North and South
from Part I - The Rise and Fall
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 July 2023
Jerusalem, c.1000 bce. David, the nation’s beloved warrior-poet, is dancing in the streets, reveling in the triumph that he – with Yhwh’s help – had secured for his people. The celebration heralds a new dawn. After centuries of wandering, internal chaos, and conflict with neighbors, the nation is now basking in peace and security. This moment simultaneously marks the pinnacle in the bedazzling career of a figure whom the Bible honors as Judah’s greatest monarch. His rise to power is a story of the improbable, with a narrative arc corresponding to his people’s collective experience.
