The Book of Samuel: Episode 4
Update: 2023-11-06
Description
Whither Malchut
Welcome to our fourth in a continuing series on the book of Shmuel or Samuel and the founding of Jewish monarchy.
Episode 4. This week we begin chapter 2 and are immediately confronted with the perplexity of Chana’s famous prayer. How do these seemingly disparate statements hang together and why, as Rashi and others point out, is she continuously referring back to the misery she experienced at the hands of Penina. The solution we offer is to see Chana casting herself as a new Naomi, with the hopes of being the progenitor of kingship. All this and more.
