  • 'David's Women': a Critical Comparison of Michal, Bathsheba and Tamar In
    UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM ‘DAVID’S WOMEN’ A CRITICAL COMPARISON OF MICHAL, BATHSHEBA AND TAMAR IN 1 SAMUEL AND 2 SAMUEL. By Julia Michelle Hogan A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Research in Theology and Religion.

Abstract In this thesis I shall look at the narratives of three women in 1 and 2 Samuel: Michal, Bathsheba and Tamar. I will argue how these women each endure incredible experiences of suffering that are brought about primarily through the actions of both King David and the narrator. These women suffer at the hands of the narrator due to the narratives neglect in recording their experiences in any detail in the text. Instead, it will be my argument that these women are simply used as a means of continuing and explaining the events that happen in the plot of 1 and 2 Samuel and the ‘David story’. It will be my aim then to attempt to bring these women’s experiences to the forefront of the text and uncover their lost voices.

  • Ten Ordinary People with an Extraordinary Story A
    TEN ORDINARY PEOPLE WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY When you read Genesis 18, you’re actually picking up the story of how God is continually orchestrating His plan to make Israel a great nation. It’s the story of how one nation, born of an ordinary man and an ordinary woman with more than their share of problems changed the history of the world—for eternity. So if that sounds like you and you wonder how you could be of any significant value to the Kingdom of God—then listen up this morning, because this story is for you. Read Genesis 14; 18-19 Lot was Abraham’s nephew. In Genesis 14, Lot is given a chance to choose which part of the Promised Land he wants for his own. He selects an area known as Sodom – which bears the namesake for the word sodomy—which seems like a questionable decision about where to relocate your family—but like I said, the Bible isn’t afraid to take us places where ordinary people make messy decisions. This whole enterprise is based on a promise from God to Abraham, that he would have a son; and his children’s children would eventually grow into a vast nation of God-fearing people. But that takes a few hundred years, so in the meanwhile, Lot and Abraham are doing OK. Lot raises a family in the land of the Sodomites and gets himself elected as a judge. Then he finds himself in the middle of a war between two tribal groups and Uncle Abraham has to gather his 318 Navy Seals of the day to rescue Lot.

  • The Wives of Solomon
    THE WIVES OF SOLOMON. BY MONCURE D. CONWAY. " CCORDING to the first book of Kings, Solomon's half-brother, ft Adonijah, after the defeat of an alleged (perhaps mythical) effort to recover the throne of which he had been defrauded, sub­ mitted himself to Solomon. He had become enamored of the vir­ gin who had been brought to the aged King David to try to revive some vitality in him; and he came to Bathsheba asking her to re­ quest her son the king to give him this damsel as his wife. Bath­ sheba proffered this "small petition" for Adonijah, but Solomon was enraged, and ironically suggested that she should ask the king­ dom itself for Adonijah, whom he straightway ordered to execu­ tion. The immediate context indicates that Solomon suspected in this petition a plot against his throne. A royal father's harem was inherited by a royal son, and its possession is supposed to have in­ volved certain rights of succession: this is the only interpretation I have ever heard of the extreme violence of Solomon. But I have never been satisfied with this explanation. Would Adonijah have requested, or Bathsheba asked as a "small" thing, a favor touch­ ing the king's tenure? The story as told in the Book of Kings appears diplomatic, and several details suggest that in some earlier legend the strife between the half- brothers had a more romantic relation to "Abishag the Shunammite," who is described as "very fair." Abishag is interpreted as meaning "father of error," and though that translation is of doubtful accuracy, its persistence in­ dicates the place occupied by her in early tradition.

  • Noah's Wife and Heterosexual Incestuous
    Judaica Ukrainica I (2012), 29–46 No Name WomaN: Noah’s Wife aNd heterosexual iNcestuous relatioNs iN GeNesis 9:18–29 corinne e. Blackmer Southern Connecticut State University [email protected] [Noah’s wife] was a nameless woman, and so at home among all those who were never found and never missed, who were uncommemorated, whose deaths were not remarked, nor their begettings1. I. The terse language and riddling innuendo of Gen 9:18–29, which narrates how Noah comes to curse Canaan, the son of Ham, has engaged the inter­ pretive energies of readers since the rabbis of the Babylonian Talmud spe­ culated that Ham had castrated his father2. The language of this narrative, bristling with obscure phrases, loud hints of dreadful sexual transgression, and pious cover ups, has often left subsequent interpreters sensing that the story has meanings that the narrator declines to delineate. Indeed, the only thing that remains clear is that Gen 9:18–29 functions as an etiological myth to justify the permanent subordination of the tribes of Canaan. Canaan commits an un­ speakable sexual crime against Noah’s family that results in the subsequent physical displacement and sweeping rejection of the customs of the Canaanite peoples. Indeed, Israel’s secure possession of the Promised Land is predicated on repudiating the cultural institutions of the preceding Canaanites. Whatever the larger and associated issues, however, interpretive positions have gener­ 30 Corinne E. BLACKMER ally revolved around two broad questions. What was the nature of Ham’s of­ fense, such that when he “saw his father’s nakedness” and told his brothers, Shem and Japheth, it merited the terrible curse of permanent servitude Noah pronounced over him3? Second, what was the rationale for the punishment of Canaan and why, if Ham committed the crime, would his son Canaan suffer the penalty instead? Exegetical traditions have identified the deed for which Noah curses Ca­ naan either as voyeurism, castration, or homosexual paternal incest.

  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

  • 1 Samuel Devotionals
    1 Samuel 1 As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk. 1 Sam 1:13 As I read this today, I tried to think back to those people that I wanted to have praying for me. There are some people who say "I'll pray for you", but there are those that you know will do it. I remember going to a See You At The Pole event while I was in college at Mizzou. We were standing on the steps, and some adults had shown up to support us and pray with and for us. In my group was a man from my church named Robert. As people went around the circle and prayed, Robert would utter quietly "Yes Lord", "Make it so Lord", and other statements to this effect. At first it bothered me, but then I realized what I am normally doing when I'm in a large group to pray. I pray, and then I sometimes listen to the other people, but more often I just start thinking of unrelated things and my mind would wander. Robert's method was odd to me at first, until I realized that he wanted to really be in prayer with every person as the prayers went around the circle. When I pray in a large group now, I listen to the person so I can pray with them and for them. In this passage, Eli the priest has never truly seen, experienced or uttered fervent prayer.
