  • Description: A second important idea regarding the literary growth of 2 Samuel is Campbell's postulating of a prophetic record spanning from 1 Sam 1:1-1 Kings 11, written by prophetic circles connected to Elisha and building on earlier traditions (e.g., the story of David's rise and the Elijah stories), and concluding by bringing Jehu's coup under the legitimate authority of major prophetic figures (i.e., Samuel in association with Saul and David, Ahijah with Jeroboam, and Elijah with Ahab) (pp. 220-21; see also FOTL 7, 319-31). The conceptual framework of a theistic attitude (i.e., that the story tellers of ancient Judah could describe the history of Judah only as the history of the interaction of the Davidic kings with YHWH) has close parallels throughout ancient Near Eastern historiography.
