'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. -

The Aaronic Priesthood Exodus 28:1
THE AARONIC PRIESTHOOD EXODUS 28:1 Man has an inherent knowledge of God (Rom. 1:18-32) and sinfulness (Rom. 2:14-15) and it seems every religion has some sort of priesthood to repre- sent man to God. In the case of Judaism, it was the Aaronic Priesthood. Romans 1:18–19 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteous- ness, 19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. Romans 2:14–15 14For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bear- ing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, In Exodus 27:21, we noted the first hint of the appointment of Aaron and his sons to be the priests of Yahweh. In Exodus 28:1, the appointment was offi- cially proclaimed. Exodus 28:1 1“Then bring near to yourself Aaron your brother, and his sons with ,to Me—Aaron [כָּהַן] him, from among the sons of Israel, to minister as priest Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons. and it refers to the כֹּהֵן is not the word for priest; that word is כָּהַן The word means to ,כָּהַן ,position of priest as mediator between God and man. This word act or to serve as a priest, hence, the NASB translates it to “minister as priest.” One is the noun and one is the verb. -

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. -

By exploring the parallels in setting, plot, characterization, and style between each chapter this study uncovers a multidimensional characterization of David. Nabal is established as Saul's surrogate and David's men (in 1 Sam 24), Abishai (in 1 Sam 26), and Abigail (in 1 Sam 25) are demonstrated to be David's alter-egos. -

Period Covered: c. 1050-970 B.C. Introduction Originally, 1 & 2 Samuel were one unified literary work. The division into two books derives from the Greek and Latin traditions of the text, not the Hebrew. Like all the books of the Hebrew Scriptures, 1 & 2 Samuel were written on scrolls of rather limited physical length, no more than about 27-30 feet, and because the story is too long to fit on one scroll, the narrative was split roughly at midpoint, at the death of Saul, the major character in the story’s first half. In the Greek Septuagint, 1 Samuel is titled basileion a’, or 1 Kingdoms, since the Books of Samuel and Kings are grouped together in the Greek tradition as 1-4 Kingdoms, a grouping preserved in St.
