| Итог: | This article discusses the background of Isaiah's severe criticism of the major-domo Shebna, who hewed his tomb within the city walls, near the burial place of the kings of Judah. It concentrates on the issue of royal prerogatives and their transgression, bringing biblical and ancient Near Eastern examples that substantiate these violations. The narratives of Absalom and Adonijah illustrate the violation of some royal prerogatives and demonstrate the dangers of ignoring these unlawful deeds. An analysis of the Assyrian history in the years 827-745 exemplifies the violation of the king's prerogative of erecting commemorative monuments. This article suggests that the transgression of royal prerogatives is the context in which Isaiah's severe reaction to Shebna's impudent deed should be evaluated and offers a supposition in this regard. |
