Writing and literature: biblical narrative and Samarian Ostracon
The biblical narrative of the Old Testament is an accurate chronicle following the lives of the Kings of Isarael. The writer provided us with this story though a sweeping narrative that corroborated with a number of Ancient sources. Those sources include the tablet stone found in Syria (?) and the Assyrian Black Obelsk (sp) depicting Jehu's submission. Unlike historians of today's standard, the writers of the biblical narrative avoid writing soci-economics features (?) and work to highlight personal character of men and women whilst focusing on the working of the Lord in Israel.
