Writings from the Ancient World Supplement Series #4
Royal Apologetic in the Ancient Near East (Writings from the Ancient World Suppl) by Andrew Knapp
Andrew Knapp applies modern genre theory to seven ancient Near Eastern royal apologies that served to defend the legitimacy of kings who came to power under irregular circumstances. Knapp examines texts and inscriptions related to Telipinu, Hattusili III, David, Solomon, Hazael, Esarhaddon, and Nabonidus to identify common issues that unite each discourse.
