Abstract
Este trabajo analiza el relato de la ejecución de los hijos de Saúl descrita por Josefo en Antigüedades 7.294-297 en relación con su fuente bíblica de 2 Sam 21,1-14, (según el TM, el ms. Vaticano y los mss. luciánicos/antioquenos, y el Targum Yonatán para los profetas primeros) y en relación también con el tratamiento rabínico del episodio. El estudio muestra claramente que, a pesar de su brevedad, el pasaje ofrece ejemplos de las técnicas empleadas por Josefo para reescribir las narraciones bíblicas que merecen ser puestos de relieve y también es un exponente del cuidado e intención deliberada con que este autor lleva a cabo su propia versión de la historia de Israel.
Highlights
(= B) ^ and the Lucianic or Antiochene MSS ^ of the LXX (= L), plus Targum Jonathan on the Former Prophets (= TJ) ^ In carrying out the comparison, I have in view several overarching questions: 1) which text-form(s) of 2 Sam [21,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14] did Josephus have available? ^; 2) how does Josephus deal with the data of the source story and what were his reasons for handling these as he does?; and 3) what is the cumulative effect of Josephus' modifications of the source, i.e. how, taken as a whole, does his version of the episode relate to its Biblical prototype?
The study makes clear that, notwithstanding its brevity, the passage offers noteworthy examples of Josephus' «rewriting techniques», just as it exemplifies the care and purposefulness with which he developed his own version of Israel's history
Summary
^ For the text and translation of Josephus' works I use H. J. THACKERAY et al (eds.), Josephus, London-Cambridge, MA 1926-1965 514-517 where the translation and notes are by R. The story of 2 Sam [21,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14] generated considerable discussion in Rabbinic tradition, see, e.g., TY-Qiddûsim 4.65b-65c; TB-Yëbamôt 78b; Ba-Midbar Rabbâ 8.4; Midras Sëmû'el 28.5; Addendum to Midras Tehíl-ñm 17.10; Pirqê de-rabbí Eli'^ezer 17; and cf L.
