The Limits to Solomon's Reign: a Response to Amos Frisch

In response to my recent article concerning the structure of the Solomonic narrative (JSOT 42 [1988], pp. 19-27), Amos Frisch has suggested a novel arrangement of the material. While Dr Frisch has proposed some interesting alternatives, difficulties with his thesis lie in the inclusion of 12.1-24, and with the subordination of Solomon’s second dream in the larger framework of the building and dedication of the Temple. Frisch’s literary approach is appropriate, but the net effect of Frisch’s analysis is to highlight the Temple while obscuring the thematic issues of Solomon’s relationship to justice, law and wisdom.
