AB - This article aims to study the structure in the Primary Narrative(Genesis ~ 2 Kings) in the Old Testament. For this, narrative criticism is employed as the main research method. Narrative criticism is a synchronic and synthetic literary analysis that tries to read the text as an implied reader that would understand it in its present shape rather than looking at the proven historical information. A close reading enables analysis of the elements such as plot, character, setting and point of view in the text. One of the advantages of this methodology is that, although one may not have complete historical knowledge about a text, it is still possible to read and interpret it. A biblical narrative can analyze the Primary Narrative through the communication system of the narrative. The longest block of Genesis to Kings in the Hebrew Bible (TaNaK) consists of nine books with the exception of the book of Ruth. This part is divided in two sides by the book of Deuteronomy in the center, and it is called a doublet. Each consists of five steps, that is, beginning, development, crisis, climax and denouement. Deuteronomy is the last position of the first part and also in the first position of the second part within the Primary Narrative. When the two parts are unfolded, these show a symmetric pattern or uneven chiasmus from the literary perspective. The Primary Narrative, therefore, is a story as a discourse and it shows the various majestic contents from the beginning of the Kingdom of Judah to its destruction.
