초록

The Bible is the only book which contained a part of history of Israel. However, the authors of the Bible recorded Israel in a religious point of view rather than a historical point of view. They always mentioned that if the readers want to know more about achievements of kings then see the book of annals of the kings of Israel. Unfortunately, this book does not exist at present and it is hard to complete the history of Israel from an overview. Recently, historians, including Mario Liverani, have been working on archiving archaeological, literary, and historical sources in near eastern area in order to study the history of Israel. By such studies, we have been able to follow the political movements of the kings of Israel in “normal history”, not “invented history” made by the emphasis on religious achievements. Among the kings of the Kingdom of Israel, this paper intended to reconsider especially Omri (886-874 BC) in “normal history”. Omri was introduced to his life only in 14 verses (1 Kings 16: 15-28), and in the books of Chronicles only appeared once as the father of Athaliah (2 Chronicles 2:22). He was not even mentioned that he was the king of Israel. But Omri was the army commander who had the capacity to become a king by his followers and was the king who laid the foundation for his son Ahab’s political and economic development, even though it was a short 12-year reign. In addition, as already well known in the Assyrian records, his name is left as the house of Omri (bit-Humri), so his position should not be remembered only as the father of Ahab. As opposed to “the house of David,” the “house of Omri” used to be expressed as a representation of the religious fallen and evil kings in the Bible, but historically there was David in the Kingdom of Judah and there was Omri as the rebuilder in the Kingdom of Israel. Omri’s policies of the capital relocation, the marriage alliance, and territorial expansion have brought economic and cultural development along with the expansion of the political realm of Israel. Jehu, who lost the background of Omri’s royal family, was isolated from the international situation and eventually the northern kingdom of Israel had to collapse slowly after his reign.

Abstract

The Bible is the only book which contained a part of history of Israel. However, the authors of the Bible recorded Israel in a religious point of view rather than a historical point of view. They always mentioned that if the readers want to know more about achievements of kings then see the book of annals of the kings of Israel. Unfortunately, this book does not exist at present and it is hard to complete the history of Israel from an overview. Recently, historians, including Mario Liverani, have been working on archiving archaeological, literary, and historical sources in near eastern area in order to study the history of Israel. By such studies, we have been able to follow the political movements of the kings of Israel in “normal history”, not “invented history” made by the emphasis on religious achievements. Among the kings of the Kingdom of Israel, this paper intended to reconsider especially Omri (886-874 BC) in “normal history”. Omri was introduced to his life only in 14 verses (1 Kings 16: 15-28), and in the books of Chronicles only appeared once as the father of Athaliah (2 Chronicles 2:22). He was not even mentioned that he was the king of Israel. But Omri was the army commander who had the capacity to become a king by his followers and was the king who laid the foundation for his son Ahab’s political and economic development, even though it was a short 12-year reign. In addition, as already well known in the Assyrian records, his name is left as the house of Omri (bit-Humri), so his position should not be remembered only as the father of Ahab. As opposed to “the house of David,” the “house of Omri” used to be expressed as a representation of the religious fallen and evil kings in the Bible, but historically there was David in the Kingdom of Judah and there was Omri as the rebuilder in the Kingdom of Israel. Omri’s policies of the capital relocation, the marriage alliance, and territorial expansion have brought economic and cultural development along with the expansion of the political realm of Israel. Jehu, who lost the background of Omri’s royal family, was isolated from the international situation and eventually the northern kingdom of Israel had to collapse slowly after his reign.
