Abstract

1 Kings 13 in its present form features key traits of the cautionary tale. Through a comparison with Little Red Riding Hood, it is argued that many of the enigmatic features of 1 Kings 13 dissolve when read as a cautionary tale. On the surface, this tale functions as a didactic tale that warns against the naïve trust of a stranger on the road. On a deeper level, it inevitably colors Bethel as a dangerous and unruly place that doomed the protagonist to a tragic death.

伯特利、黑暗森林和禁忌：列王记13章警示故事

列王纪上13章现在的形式具有警世故事的关键特征。通过与《小红帽》的比较，作者认为《列王记》第13章的许多神秘特征在作为警世故事阅读时就消失了。从表面上看，这个故事是一个说教的故事，警告人们不要在路上对陌生人naïve的信任。在更深层次上，它不可避免地把伯特利描绘成一个危险和不守规矩的地方，注定了主人公的悲惨死亡。

期刊介绍： This innovative and highly acclaimed journal publishes articles on various aspects of critical biblical scholarship in a complex global context. The journal provides a medium for the development and exercise of a whole range of current interpretive trajectories, as well as deliberation and appraisal of methodological foci and resources. Alongside individual essays on various subjects submitted by authors, the journal welcomes proposals for special issues that focus on particular emergent themes and analytical trends. Over the past two decades, Biblical Interpretation has provided a professional forum for pushing the disciplinary boundaries of biblical studies: not only in terms of what biblical texts mean, but also what questions to ask of biblical texts, as well as what resources to use in reading biblical literature. The journal has thus the distinction of serving as a site for theoretical reflection and methodological experimentation.
