Endnote 1 – Samarian Scribes in King Hezekiah’s Court

Magen Broshi, “The Expansion of Jerusalem in the Reigns of Hezekiah and Manasseh,” Israel Exploration Journal 24 (1974), pp. 21–26. For an update to this idea, see Aaron Burke, “An Anthropological Model for the Investigation of the Archaeology of Refugees in Iron Age Judah and Its Environs,” in Brad E. Kelle, Frank Ritchel Ames, and Jacob L. Wright, eds., Interpreting Exile: Interdisciplinary Studies of Displacement and Deportation in Biblical and Modern Contexts (Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2011), pp. 41–56. The implications for the formation of biblical literature are further developed in my book, Who Really Wrote the Bible: The Story of the Scribes (Princeton: Princeton Univ. Press, 2024).
