| Title: Samuel's farewell discourse according to Josephus Secondary Title: SJOT Volume: 11 Pages: 56-77 Type: Journal Article Year: 1997 Abstract: Harrington, Daniel J. in: NTAb 42.1 (1998), 118: "The article compares Samuel's farewell discourse according to the various biblical versions of 1 Samuel 12 and to Josephus' Antiquities 6:86-94 under three headings: initial exchange, Samuel's central speech, and final exchange. In his streamlined version of Samuel's farewell, Josephus accentuated Samuel as the ideal prophet/leader and intensified the antimonarchical trust already present in the biblical source. He sought to satisfy his double audience, i.e. Roman Gentiles and his fellow Jews".
Begg, Christopher T. in: OTA 20.3 (1997), 511: "B.'s essay provides a detailed comparison of Josephus' version, in Ant. 6.86-94, of Samuel's Farewell Discourse with its biblical source, i.e., 1 Samuel 12 (as represented by MT, LXX, and Targum Jonathan). Specific questions addressed b< the investigation include: the text-form(s) of 1 Samuel 12 used b< Josephus, the rewriting techniques applied by him to the data of the source, the distinctive features of Josephus' version of the discourse as compared with that of the Vorlage, and the particular messages the Josephan rendering might have been intended to convey to Ant.'s double audience, i.e., cultivated Gentiles and fellow Jews".
