| Abstract |
In a 2003 article I explored Samuel–Kings and Chronicles in terms of specific linguistic features and recent linguistic dating methodology of BH. In 2006 Avi Hurvitz responded to my article and argued for a mostly chronological approach to the language of BH. The present article focuses on the “concrete test-case” that Hurvitz offered in support of his larger argu-ments regarding Chronicles and LBH: דרמשׂק (“Damascus”). I will examine various facets of דמשׂק and דרמשׂק in order to show that Hurvitz dealt unsatis-factorily with the ancient evidence for “Damascus.” Furthermore, Hurvitz's “Damascus” test-case undermines his broader argument regarding Chronicles and LBH while ultimately supporting the non-chronological position he op-poses. |
