- Abstract:
- This essay examines the issue of David's (lack of) clothing in 2 Samuel 6 and 1 Chronicles 15. It asks: what potential meanings would be at play for ancient readers of these texts? Drawing on research into social memory and "forgetting," it argues that Judean readers would partially warrant Michal's distaste for David's dressing-down, while still maintaining a critical stance toward the queen.
