520 Despite the complexity of the book of Samuel, the current
explanation for the tensions in regards to kingship (due
to conflicting early/late pro/anti-monarchical sources) is
unsatisfactory. That a number of interpretations start
from this binary choice leads to an oversimplification of
the complex views surrounding the ideology of kingship
within the Hebrew Bible as a whole, as well as within the
book of Samuel. It is the view of the author that the
tensions within the text are not the result of conflicting
early/late sources, but rather a witness to the formative
period of Israelite royal ideology. The thesis of this
study is that the book of Samuel preserves a historic
reality behind the integration of the office of kingship
into ancient Israel, and that this integration of kingship
conflicted with Yahwistic theology until the royal
ideology of early Israel reached a palatable form within
that theological framework. For this reason, this study
seeks to understand kingship within the book of Samuel
through the lens of royal ideology and the way in which it
interacted with Yahwistic theology.Given the position of
this dissertation that royal ideology within the book of
Samuel did not arise in isolation, a survey was conducted
of those texts which might be considered as the
"prolegomena to kingship" within the book of Samuel. In
addition to showing the high degree of competence of the
Biblical authors to represent complex imagery surrounding
kingship in their own culture as well as those around them,
this survey also showed that a consistent narrative thread
that runs through a majority of these texts is that the
role of Yahweh as Divine Warrior is foundational to His
kingship within early Israel. Several texts thought to
have early dates of composition that would predate the
institution of the monarchy or coincide with its
beginnings (Exod 15, 1 Sam 4-6, 2 Sam 22, etc.) highlight
this aspect of Yahweh. As a result, we are able to
understand the rejection of Yahweh in 1 Sam 8 not along
simple pro- or anti-monarchical grounds as critical
scholarship traditionally has, but as an ideological
conflict arising during the formative period of the
monarchy. We therefore see the authorial intent of the
author/authors of the book of Samuel to highlight this
tension during the reigns of Saul and David, all the while
articulating an ideology of human kingship that would
ultimately find acceptance in the subordination to Yahweh
as Divine Warrior. This form of kingship perhaps reaches
its pinnacle of expression in the ideology portrayed in
the song of deliverance by David in 2 Sam 22, as well as
the Davidic covenant made in 2 Sam 7
