AB - Hidden Political Script in Judges Chapters 19-21
Judges chapters 17-21 consists of two narratives. Judges chapters 17-18 deal with religious disorder through the story of Micah's family in Mount Ephraim and the tribe of Dan. Judges chapters 19-21 are the story of a civil war between the tribe of Benjamin and all of Israel due to a group sexual violence suffered by a Levite's concubine. Drawing on James Scott's theory of the "hidden transcript," this study aims to identify political groups in conflict with the period in which the texts were written. Judges chapters 19-21 intentionally uses symbolic place names and settings for Saul to not only undermine Saul's tribe of Benjamin, but also to give the tribe of Judah justification to attack the tribe of Benjamin. However, Judges 19-21 cannot be viewed as a confrontation between David and Saul as individuals, but rather as a community. The conflict between the tribes of Benjamin and Judah intensified during the period of the rise of interest in the tribe of Benjamin, or land, and the captivity of the dynasty of Judah. Therefore, the date of Judges 19-21 is shortly after the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon. After the fall of Jerusalem, Babylon appointed Gedaliah as governor of Judah, and he made the land of Benjamin his administrative center. Judges 19-21 should be seen as a “hidden transcript” that emphasizes the legitimacy of the Babylonian captive community over the surviving Jews in the land of Benjamin.
