The study undertaken in this dissertation developed out of my honors research essay titled “A socio-political view of land acquisition in 1 Kings 21:1-16 as a form of dehumanization.” The previous research essay serves as a precursor for the current study. Naboth’s loss of his הלחנ (inheritance), resulting in his death under the rule of Ahab, is considered by scholars as one of the possible roots which served as a basis for Jehu’s coup as retributive justice for Naboth. It is, therefore, the aim of this paper to investigate all the possible roots of Jehu’s coup adopting a holistic approach in explicating all contributing factors and to interrogate the extreme use of violence. Following the death of Naboth in 1 Kings 21:1-16, and a further mention of Naboth’s death and the acquisition of his vineyard in 2 Kings 9-10, the murder of Naboth prompted and sparked a debate of whether Naboth’s death was avenged as Jehu executed his coup. An investigation into Jehu’s coup opened up more doors of research as it became apparent that many other factors became intertwined with the coup narrative. The apostasy of the Northern Kingdom also brought an element of idolatry into the scheme. The prophets Elijah and Elisha are introduced into the narrative through the anti- Jezebel redaction to invoke a Yahwism theme. Jehu was then a Yahwistic revolutionary who was being obedient to Yahweh during his bloody extermination of the house of Ahab. Archaeological evidence (i.e. Tel Dan) would later defy the claims of the narrative as they are presented in the Old Testament, this then led to an investigation and an inquiry of how Jehu is related to all factors tied to him. How is Jehu’s coup related to Tel Dan, Naboth, and the prophetic agenda of Elijah and Elisha? / Dissertation (MTh)--University of Pretoria, 2018. / Old Testament Studies / MTh / Unrestricted

No. of bitstreams: 1 BRUNO CAVALCANTE.pdf: 1499849 bytes, checksum: 2ea03be3dbd4327d7ecd93a9c8695d41 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-03-21 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / The research aims to work the event of Jehu's revolt, together with the stele of Dan, taking as a starting point for such exegesis of the perícope of 2 Kings 10 to 28.36. The story Deuteronomist presents the act of Jehu's revolt as an important achievement too, the cult of the restoration to the Lord in Israel, from a context where the worship of other deities in Israel North, was in full swing. However, from the joint analysis of the stele of Dan, whose probable author King Hazael of Damascus, we are challenged to read this story between the lines not covered by the text, pointing to an active participation of Hazael on outcomes related to revolt of Jehu as being directly responsible that gave the rise of Jehu king in Israel, thus clarifying this important period in the Biblical story. For this analysis, it will be observed three distinct topics directly related to the proposed theme: (1) The Revolt of Jehu and the Deuteronomist Writing, from the exegetical study of the perícope of 2 Kings 10.28 to 36, which are described timely information about the period in which Jehu reigned in Israel; (2) Jehu and the Stele of Dan, from the presentation and analysis of the contents of the stele of Dan, comes directly from the war unfolding in Ramoth-Gilead, where takes place the starting point of the revolt of Jehu; and finally (3) The Empire of Syria, where from the ongoing analysis of the contents of the stele of Dan demonstrate the significance of this kingdom, and notes directly related to the reign of Hazael very important character in the Revolt of Jehu event / A pesquisa tem por objetivo trabalhar o evento da Revolta de Jeú, em conjunto com a Estela de Dã, tendo como ponto de partida para tal, a exegese da perícope de 2 Reis 10-28,36. A história Deuteronomista apresenta o ato da Revolta de Jeú como sendo um feito demasiadamente importante, na restauração do culto a Javé em Israel, a partir de um contexto onde o culto a outras divindades, em Israel Norte, estava em pleno curso. No entanto, a partir da análise conjunta da Estela de Dã, que tem como provável autor o rei Hazael de Damasco, somos desafiados a ler esta história pelas entrelinhas não contempladas pelo texto, que apontam para uma participação ativa de Hazael, nos desfechos referentes a Revolta de Jeú, como sendo o responsável direto que proporcionou a subida de Jeú ao trono em Israel, clarificando desta forma este importante período na história Bíblica. Para tal análise, observar-se-á três distintos tópicos, ligados diretamente ao tema proposto: (1) A Revolta de Jeú e a Redação Deuteronomista, a partir do estudo exegético da perícope de 2 Reis 10,28-36, onde estão descritas informações pontuais sobre período em que Jeú reinou em Israel; (2) Jeú e a Estela de Dã, a partir da apresentação e análise do conteúdo da Estela de Dã, tratando diretamente dos desdobramentos da guerra em Ramote de Gileade, de onde se dá o ponto de partida à Revolta de Jeú; e por fim (3) O Império da Síria, onde a partir da continuidade da análise do conteúdo da Estela de Dã, demonstraremos a significância deste reino, além de apontamentos diretamente ligados ao reinado de Hazael, personagem mui relevante no evento da Revolta de Jeú.
