Understanding Jewish History: Texts and Commentaries
An excellent book for very exacting scholars of the Old Testament. Vaux is very good about sharing his sources (all primary sources: royal receipts, correspondence, etc.) and also about explaining why would-be pet theories do not fit popular interpretations of certain passages. Its a good look at how the monarchy was established, functioned and eventually disappeared. It is especially good for comparing the later rulers in light of the tradition they came from. I got a little impatient with the intricacies of the different duties of the family leader (as in the Book of Ruth) but I appreciated the explanations on the mohair of married women, as compared to what we traditionally think of as a dowry........
