Building a nation : the Jeroboams and the creation of two Israels
This article represents a short reflective essay in honour of the Old Testament scholar Eben

approaches to address the history of texts: minimalist and maximalist; and illustrates a
minimalist approach in reference to the figure of the Israelite king Jeroboam II.
