Copyright © 198.7 by Andrews University Press ISSN 0003-2980 DEDICATED TO LEONA GLIDDEN RUNNING A NOTE ABOUT THIS ISSUE OF AUSS The present issue of AUSS is dedicated to, and presented in honor of, our esteemed colleague Leona Glidden Running. Although perhaps not in every respect a Festschrift, it probably comes as close to such as we will ever publish. The articles—about twice the number in a regular issue—have all been solicited and prepared with the specific intent of honoring Leona, and they therefore represent various areas of her special interest and expertise: biblical studies, biblical and cognate languages, Near Eastern antiquity, and archaeology in the Bible lands. The "Book Notices" (an enlarged section in this issue of AUSS to compensate for the omission of "Book Reviews") constitutes the one part of this publication that does not relate fully or specifically to the areas of Leona's special interests. Unfortunately, all persons who would have liked to contribute articles for this issue of AUSS were not able to do so—either because of their own time constraints or because of our publication schedule. Our endeavor, nonetheless, has been to provide a selection of studies that would both reflect Leona's scholarly interests and include as authors a fair representation of biblical scholars with whom she has had contact. Some of the authors are, or have been, colleagues on the Seminary faculty; and several of these are also former students of hers. Others, while neither her students nor Seminary colleagues, are long-time acquaintances in the field of biblical and Near Eastern studies. In the last group, David Noel Freedman of the University of Michigan may be especially mentioned for his having collaborated with her in the publication of a definitive biography of William Foxwell Albright (see p. 5 below). The original suggestion to honor Leona with a special issue of AUSS came from Associate Editor Lawrence T. Geraty, at the time when he was a colleague on the Seminary faculty. It was my intent to leave this project largely in his hands, until such was made impossible by his acceptance of the heavy responsibilities of the presidency of Atlantic Union College in South Lancaster, Massachusetts. For his continuing interest and support, including his own article published herein, I am grateful. And special thanks must go, as well, to William H. Shea, not only for his essay, but for contacts he made with some of the other authors and for help in the editorial procedures; and to George R. Knight, who took the oversight of the editorial process when some of the manuscripts were arriving during my absence from campus last summer. To the other AUSS staff members who worked so faithfully to make this issue possible, and especially to all the contributors of essays, I wish, too, to express my deepest appreciation. 2 NOTE ABOUT THIS ISSUE OF AUSS 3 Initially, several of the authors included dedications to Leona in their manuscripts. For the sake of style consistency, these dedications have been omitted—especially since the intent of this issue is that all of the articles are dedicated to her. However, as a fitting close to this introductory note, the tribute from Lawrence Geraty in his manuscript on "Hezekiah's Lachish" may be quoted here as representing the sentiment of us all. After indicating that it was in Leona Running's Hebrew courses that he "first gained access to the linguistic tools so essential to scholarly research," Geraty added: "It is therefore a privilege for me to provide this review of an important archaeological site in Professor Running's beloved Israel for a collection of essays in honor of a remarkable teacher, colleague, and friend." —Kenneth A. Strand Editor LEONA GLIDDEN RUNNING A TRIBUTE TO LEONA GLIDDEN RUNNING AND SKETCH OF HER SCHOLARLY CAREER Leona Glidden Running is the only member of the AUSS staff who has served this journal in an official capacity continuously ever since its founding 25 years ago. And that longevity of service has also been characterized by the utmost in faithfulness and competence. Indeed, how frequently in her busy schedule has she made time to read, evaluate, and copy-edit manuscripts or to check and correct galley proofs and page proofs—often on the very short notice that characterizes certain stages in our editorial process! And her broad competence in both modern and ancient languages, her editorial expertise, and the care and indefatigability with which she always pursues her work have made, and continue to make, her input to AUSS immeasurable. We must take note here also of a few of the other highlights in her outstanding scholarly career. With a college major in French and minors in German, English, and Education, she had her first academic appointment at Laurelwood Academy in Gaston, Oregon, from 1937 to 1941, teaching French and German. For the last three of those years she also served as the school's librarian. She then moved to Glendale, California, where in 1942 she married Leif H. Running, whose untimely death in 1946 brought a sudden tragic end to this happy and meaningful relationship. During the years from 1942 to 1950, she served in Glendale and elsewhere in various capacities wherein she could put to good use her language, secretarial, educational, and editorial skills. She was responsible,
