Abstract
In this paper, I suggest that the narrative of 2 Sam. 18:1â19:9 is read in the Korean context of being âunited yet dividedâ through which K.P. Hong illuminates the duality between the ideal and the real in Judahâs relationship with Israel. The opposition between David and Joab represents the dual circumstance of a community seeking union and simultaneously confronting division. Such duality is also observed in the distinction drawn between Ahimaaz and the Cushite. The violence in the narrative functions significantly to otherize Absalom and establish who We are. Also, the violence is intimately associated with Deut. 21:22â23 and the divine will. Therefore, a reading of this narrative through the Korean context can offer a means of resolving the difficulties of 2 Sam. 18:1â19:9 and generate the possibility of a new interpretation of the text in its present form.
