Recent research has led to a weakening of the two classical hypotheses on the story of David's rise and a successionnarrative. Instead, attention has focussed on the texts in II Samuel 1-5, which are seen as being of crucial importance for theliterary genesis of the story of David. The present study reveals a first continuous account from before the time of exile, which was produced in the 7th century BC. Thus it explains David's double kingship of Israel and Juda as a proto-deuteronomistic foundation narrative from the late Age of Kings. The study closes with a sketch of the editorial history of the David narratives in II Samuel and a revision of the historical records.Fischer, Alexander Achilles is the author of 'Von Hebron Nach Jerusalem Eine Redaktionsgeschichtliche Studie Zur Erzahlung Von Konig David in II Sam 1-5', published 2003 under ISBN 9783110178999 and ISBN 3110178990.
