Interpretations of the narratives about David in the Books ofSamuel can be divided roughly into works that understand them oneway or the other as products of history, and works that tend to disregardquestions about their historical conditions. But neither strategy – studyingthe meaning of their production in terms of history, or not at all– can bring out all facets in the meaning of producing these narratives.Here a spatial approach is taken, according to which the productionof literature is not simply caused by historical contexts that can be accountedfor in research; it takes place in unresolved social situations ofwhich the authors are not in control. From this perspective, some nuancesare suggested about how the writing of the David narratives couldbe meaningful to their author(s).
