Abstract

Abstract When David ben Jesse’s triumphant return from battle in 1 Sam 18 causes King Saul to despise him, the wheels are set in motion to make David an asylum seeker, refugee, and return migrant. It is burdened with those traumatic experiences that he is announced king in 2 Sam 2. What follows is a narrative of familial conflict and fracture, involuntary migration for David again (2 Sam 15), and a final return (2 Sam 20). From this point, David lives a sedentary life. Although this is an atypical summary of the narrative in 1 Sam 18–2 Kings 2, it foregrounds the important role involuntary migration plays in its plot. This article will explore that story, looking especially at how David’s attitude toward mobility as king is implicitly rejected by the narrative.

再次上路：大卫王作为非自愿移民

当大卫·本·杰西在《撒母耳记上》18章中从战场上胜利归来时，扫罗王鄙视了他，大卫成为了寻求庇护者、难民和归国移民。他在《撒母耳记下》第2章中被宣布为王，正是因为这些痛苦的经历。接下来是关于家庭冲突和破裂的叙述，大卫再次被迫迁移(撒母耳记下15)，以及最后的回归(撒母耳记下20)。从那时起，大卫就过着久坐不动的生活。虽然这是对《撒母耳记上》18-2《列王纪上》的叙述的一个非典型的总结，但它突出了非自愿移民在情节中所起的重要作用。本文将探讨这个故事，特别关注大卫作为国王对流动性的态度是如何被叙事含蓄地拒绝的。

期刊介绍： Open Theology is an international Open Access, peer-reviewed academic journal that welcomes contributions written in English addressing religion in its various forms and aspects: historical, theological, sociological, psychological, and other. The journal encompasses all major disciplines of Theology and Religious Studies, presenting doctrine, history, organization and everyday life of various types of religious groups and the relations between them. We publish articles from the field of Theology as well as Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology of Religion and also dialogue between Religion and Science. The Open Theology does not present views of any particular theological school nor of a particular religious organization. The contributions are written by researchers who represent different religious views. The authors present their research concerning the old religious traditions as well as new religious movements. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of Theology and Religious Studies. The journal seeks also to provide researchers, pastors and other interested persons with the fruits of academic studies.
