Abstract:
This article presents a study of an LXX reading in 1 Sam 19:13, 16 that leads to a new interpretation of 1 Sam 19:8-17 as documenting a further case of divination attested in the Former Prophets. The combination of a religio-historical approach and text-critical methodology applied here results in a new understanding of the teraphim and the topic of women’s agency against the background of the ancient Near East and the adjoining areas in the northeastern Mediterranean on the one hand, and new insights into the textual criticism of the passage on the other.
