Jehu and David: Two Charismatic Kings

David T. Lamb

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This chapter explores the positive parallels between Jehu and David, suggesting that Drt favours charismatic rulers. Two of the parallels are discussed on their own (‘Righteous evaluations’ and ‘Manifestation of YHWH's spirit’) while the other parallels are discussed in three sets of pairs because of textual connections (‘Prophet anointings and divine election’, ‘eroic exploits and popular support’, and ‘Direct divine speech and dynastic promise’).
