“…Begg provides a wide-ranging interpretation of the reception of Joshua in the ancient period, focusing particularly on the interpretation of Rahab (2005a); the fall of Jericho (2005b); and the campaigns of Joshua (2007) in Josephus; as well as the rewriting of Joshua in Pseudo-Philo (2012). Corley devotes two studies to the interpretation of Joshua in Ben Sirach, the ﬁrst explores the function of Joshua as a warrior (2010) and the second compares the interpretation of Joshua and Samuel (2011).…”

Research on the book of Joshua is developing significantly in a variety of different areas. The review summarizes current scholarship in six distinct methodological approaches: (1) textual criticism; (2) composition and literary context; (3) history, archaeology and geography; (4) violence, genocide and conquest; (5) literary and ideological studies; and (6) reception history. The article will conclude with a brief summary of recent collected studies and commentaries on Joshua. The focus of interpretation will be the last ten years supplementing Greenspoon (2005).

“…Kvasnica (2008) looks at three Second Temple texts on plundering, and finds that, in contrast to the Old Testament, they had ethical qualms about plundering. Studies of the portrayal of various wars in the work of Philo, Pseudo-Philo, and Josephus have been popular, including the battles with: the Amalekites (Begg 1996, 1997; Feldman 2002a, 2004; Maier 2004); Sihon and Og (Feldman 2002b); the Midianites (Begg 2007b); the command to wipe out the seven nations of the Canaanites (Feldman 2003); the fall of Jericho (Begg 2005); the exploits of Deborah and Jael (Begg 2007a); and the Benjamite war (Begg 1998). Angel (2006) surveys the evidence for the Chaoskampf myth from 515 bce to 200 ce , and Whitney (2006) looks at Leviathan and Behemoth in Second Temple and early rabbinic Judaism.…”

In an introduction to the English translation of Gerhard von Rad’s classic work Holy War in Ancient Israel, Ollenburger (1991) reviewed the major contributions on the topic of warfare through to 1990. My article will update Ollenburger’s survey with new research on warfare in the Old Testament from 1990 to 2010, treating historicity, broad histories of warfare, and diversity of warfare. In addition, this article expands Ollenburger’s survey by looking at recent research on other topics connected to warfare (herem, warfare in Psalms and Chronicles, military history, and ethics), and at new perspectives on warfare (ancient Near Eastern connections, feminism, peace, and early reception history).

The assassination of Mephibosheth: Royal and redactional intrigue in the book of Samuel

This article explores the textual variation of the name of the son of Saul referenced in 2 Sam 3-4. While the MT reads Ishbosheth, 4QSama and LXX read Mephibosheth. The vague reading in MT 2 Sam 4:1-2 of ‘the son of Saul’ probably indicates that the parent text of the MT once also referenced Mephibosheth. While the variant is widely understood to be a simple accidental scribal insertion, this article argues that it instead reflects the redactional development of Samuel. It does this by (1) considering the implications of 2 Sam 21:1-14 for the rise of the Davidic dynasty and the fall of the Saulides, (2) bringing the question of Samuel’s sources and their integration to bear on the textual issue, and (3) considering ways that this reading of Samuel clarifies the story in 2 Sam 3:7-11.
