“…(3) After this success, he is confirmed as king at Gilgal (11.14-15). Baruch Halpern (1981: 51-148) conceptualizes this three-part process of designation, battle and confirmation from the kingship ritual of Israel against broader backgrounds of the ancient Near East. This tripartite structure shows that, while the entire passage carries the theme of the establishment of Israel’s first kingship, the conquest of Israel’s enemies is pivotally connected to such establishment.…”

Whereas scholars’ methodological assumptions about NT texts’ evocation of Israel’s scripture vary, the plausibility and significance of multivalent allusions need to be examined. The ecce homo statement in the Pilate trial (Jn 19.5) is an apt case for this examination. This study exercises a literary analysis of both proposed allusions – to Zech. 6.12 and 1 Sam. 9.17 – and shows that they are based on a common deeper structure despite the difference in phraseological conformity and historical and literary settings. This deeper structure, functioning like a masterplot, has a simple story form of God’s kingship that consists of his contention with dishonoring hostility and the subsequent building of his temple/dwelling place. This story form, captured in the Song of Moses (Exod. 15) and undergirding the Zechariah sign-act (6.9-15) and Saul’s kingship establishment story (1 Sam. 9), reveals that even in the trial scene Jesus is paradoxically enthroned and building the eschatological temple.

“…McCarter (1980: 178-179). It also seems possible that in later usage the term became a synonym for מלך‎; see Ishida (1999: 57-67); Halpern (1981: 1-11).…”

Rejection Realized: Saul, the Evil Spirit and the Loss of Kingship

In conversation with tragic readings of Saul’s career, the present article attempts to outline a parallel between the presentation and role of the spirit of YHWH and the evil spirit which afflicts Saul in 1 Samuel. By highlighting the parallel between the two spirits, the following argument suggests that they fulfil similar roles in confirming election and rejection respectively and either empowering or debilitating their recipients. The suggestion is that this analogy offers an appropriate way to understand the wider presentation of the evil spirit which afflicts Saul and has important implications for how we think about Saul’s rejection and his presentation more broadly.
