"The
Conquest of Power: Analysis of David and Solomon's Accession Histories," by
Caetano Minette de Tillesse. From
The Journal of Hebrew Scriptures vol
1, article 3 (1997).
- "Both histories were composed with
an overt apologetic aim. Thus they were written when such apologetics were necessary,
namely during the reigns of David and Solomon. The apology of David (David's Accession
Story) was written during David's reign and utilized for Solomon's Accession Story, which
integrated it and duplicated it with satiric plagiarizing."
