 | | In the Bible, read about the history of King Josiah and the “discovery” of the Deuteronomistic text in II Kings 22-23. |
 | | Then look at the Deuteronomistic code itself by reading Deuteronomy chapter 5, chapter 6 (the Shema), chapter 15 (the Sabbath Year), chapter 20 (rules on waging war), chapter 30:15-20 (the Deuteronomistic Hypothesis of history), and chapter 34 (the closing narrative of the Pentateuch). |
 | | The Deuteronomistic History (the books of Joshua, Judges, 1-II Samuel, I-II Kings) follows the political fortunes of the Israelites over some six hundred years, from the time of the entrance into Canaan until the defeat of the nation under Nebuchadnezzar. |
