| Summary: | The reign of King Jeroboam II (c. 787-747 BC) is mainly famous for Jeroboam’s successful politics, the long-lasting peace with the Assyrians, and the economic prosperity of his kingdom. Presently underestimated in research are, however, the realms of royal ideology and religion, which are characterised by both continuity and change. Under King Jeroboam, the West Semitic royal ideology of the legitimate king, of the king as builder, of the bad and good periods before and after the king’s accession to the throne, and of the role of the king as his people’s saviour were maintained. In the realm of religion, the position of the storm god as supreme deity of the pantheon and the close relationship between the supreme god and the king remained valid. New aspects included the reception of Ugaritic traditions (Ba'al and the Ṣaphon as his divine abode), the tradition of the repha'im from Bashan, and the worship of Aramaean deities such as Bethel and Ba'alshamayin. |
