It draws conclusions about Josephus' biblical text /like that of LXX MSSB and L, and 4QSama), rewriting techniques (additions and expansions, omissions, modifications and adaptations), and distinctive perspectives on the episode".
Hoppe, Leslie J. in: OTA 20.3 (1997), 510: "1 Sam 10:17-27 narrates the "royal lottery" which lead to the public recognition of Saul as Israel's first king. B.'s article presents a detailed comparison between the biblical story (as represented b< MT, 4QSama, Codex Vaticanus and the "Lucianic" MSS of the LXX, and Targum Jonathan) and Josephus ' retelling of it in Ant. 6.60-67. Among the specific questions treated by the article are: the text-form(s) of 1 Sam 10:17-27 used by Josephus, the rewriting techniques applied by him in this instance (additions, omissions, re-arrangements, ad modifications) and the distinctive features of his version which result from their application". |
