AB - Within the framework of the common royal ideology in Israel and its neighbors, two elements appear as the relevant royal obligations: to create laws in legal proceedings and warfare, as indicated in 1 Sam 8:3, 5 and 20. Surprisingly, in the so-called succession narrative, David neglects these two royal obligations. With regard to his trials as king, or similar royal judgments (see 2 Sam 12:1-7b; 14; 16:1-4 + 19:25-31), he is presented either as an incompetent judge, or characterized in a subtle-ironic way. How is this very conspicuous phenomenon to be understood? Is it possible that at this point the image of the king in the history of Israel emerges? If it is only a literary form of representation, does it then not bear any meaning? If it does, what meaning could be attributed to the Israelite royal ideology with the help of it? In this article, the court proceedings of David within the succession narrative are described and assessed in detail with particular regard to his ironization. Afterwards an attempt is made to compare the presentation of the royal court proceedings with other texts outside the succession narrative. Conclusively, it will be clear that the ironized royal ideology reflects a real and existing image of the king in Israel. Only the problem of temporal classification will remain open.
