Original titleMyth, Drama, and the Politics of David's Dance (Harvard Semitic Monographs)
A study of King David's transfer of the ark into Jerusalem as told in 2 Samuel 6, 1 Chronicles, and Josephus. Seow says the procession was a religio-political drama celebrating the victory of YHWH as the divine warrior of Canaanite mythology and his consequent accession as king. Seow also examines Psalm 132, arguing that it contains liturgical material from the procession.
