I explore the religion of ancient Israel, the beginnings of Christianity, then finally the evolution of the heirs of Abraham to the year 200. I discuss every single book in every Bible (there are more than you think!). Lightly garnished with a dash of drollery, a soupçon of scrutiny, and not one ounce of objectivity. Not one ounce! The main narrative concluded in January 2024. But I continue to publish Afterlife shows.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861"},"episode":{"title":"Afterlife 18: King David and the Two Traditions","slug":"afterlife-18-king-david-and-the-two-traditions","published_at":"2026-03-19T09:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861/afterlife-18-king-david-and-the-two-traditions","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/history-in-the-bible-173861","url":"https://historyinthebible.libsyn.com/afterlife-18-king-david-and-the-two-traditions","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/historyinthebible/AL_18_David_Two_Traditions.mp3?dest-id=261304","summary":"A few episodes ago, I mentioned the two distinct literary traditions behind the OT or Tanakh). Most important is the rabbinic Hebrew language tradition, known as the Masoretic tradition. The other tradition is the Greek language bible, known as the Septuagint. This was translated from some unknown Hebrew original. In many instances, the Septuagint draws upon ancient Hebrew documents that differ from those used by the rabbis. While the two traditions are in broad agreement, sometimes they diverge quite significantly. One of those places is in the origin story of King David. In this episode, Gil Kidron of A Podcast of Biblical Proportions and I explore these differences.","meta_description":"A few episodes ago, I mentioned the two distinct literary traditions behind the OT or Tanakh).
