It concludes that Josephus drew on texts of both 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles whose affinities were more with the Septuagint than with the Masoretic text, used various rewriting techniques, highlights the stature of David in bonam partem, an recognized the story's potential to speak to both Jews and Gentiles". |
