The expansion of Judah in II Chronicles: Territorial legitimation for the Hasmoneans?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

The article deals with the descriptions of Judah's territorial expansion in sections of II Chronicles that do not appear in Kings. It suggests that these accounts, which represent a central theme in Chronicles, were written in order to legitimize Hasmonean territorial expansion. More precisely, the article focuses the spotlight on the days of John Hyrcanus, in the late 2^nd century BCE.
