This article deals with the question of literacy in Israel and Judah. We deploy algorithmic and forensic methods to reveal the number of authors in two corpora of ostraca: Arad in Judah (ca. 600 BCE) and Samaria in Israel (eighth century BCE). In Judah, literacy disseminated down the military system to the quarter-master of the remote fort of Arad and possibly to his assistant. At Samaria our algorithmic work revealed two scribes over a minimum period of seven years, which seems to represent palace administration apparatus.
