In a first reading of the Bible Abraham appears as being anterior to
David. The promises to Abraham have their fulfillment. This book shows
that in reality Abraham plays an important role after the exile, in the
Persian Period, with the disappearance of the Davidic monarchy. The
Psalter proposes two solutions to the problem of the
disappearance of the Davidic monarchy, in spite of the divine promises
(Ps 89). On the one hand, Pss 90-106 give an alternative
to the Davidic dynasty, the substitution by the Patriarchs and their
descendants. In this perspective we have the development of the
traditions about Abraham. From this same angle, we have the case of the
book of Isaiah, but with transference to descendants other than
those of Abraham. The other alternative proposed by the Psalter
is a direct identification to David by the titles of the psalms. This
second possibility has a direct relation to the redaction of the books
of Samuel. A synthesis of the two possibilities is presented in 1
Chr 16 with a citation of Ps 105,1-15 in a Davidic
context. Hence, Abraham is presented in Gen 14-15 as an
anticipation of David. It is in this way that we must interpret the
mentions of Melchizedek in Gen 14,18 and Ps 110,4.
Finally, the role of Abraham and his descendants depends on the
disappearance of the Davidic monarchy in the Persian Period.
