Peu de gens parmi les lecteurs de la Bible savent que le premier roi d’Israël ne fut pas David, ni même Saül, mais un certain Abimélek — du moins si l’on s’en tient à ce qui est raconté dans le livre des Juges. La mémoire biblique elle-même semble avoir oublié ce fils de Gédéon pourtant choisi comme roi par les notables de Sichem. Mais il est vrai que c’est d’une histoire terrible qu’il s’agit, pleine de sang et de fureur. Tout commence avec un fratricide : pour monter sur le trône, Abimélek tue ses soixante-dix demi-frères, tous fils du juge Gédéon. Son règne sera bref, entaché par des querelles avec les notables de Sichem qui l’ont hissé au pouvoir, et se terminera par une véritable guerre civile au cours de laquelle le roi massacrera son propre peuple. C’est une femme, du sommet d’une tour assiégée par l’armée d’Abimélek, qui débarrassera Israël du tyran, en lui envoyant une meule sur la tête. Touché à mort, Abimélek demandera à son écuyer de l’achever par l’épée : personne ne devra savoir qu’il a été tué par une femme !

This book provides an extensive literary analysis of the Gideon, Abimelech and Jephthah narratives in Judges 6-12, and discloses the main intention of these stories. The book consists of three chapters, each of which analyses the respective biblical narratives. These narratives show the two parameters by which the Israelite leaders are examined, namely their loyalty to God and their altruistic character: A leader who prefers his own interest is doomed to his own demise and brings devastation upon his people. Judges does not establish a preferred governmental model, instead it considers the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of regimes. In the epilogue it is suggested that these narratives are conveniently placed in the pre-monarchic period when the question of the regime becomes part of the political debate. The book of Judges offers criteria for the choice of the right leader.

"In Dialogue on Monarchy, Albert Sui-hung Lee applies Bakhtin's dialogism to interpret the "unfinalized" dialogue on monarchical ideologies in the Gideon-Abimelech narrative. Lee associates the Bakhtinian concepts of "double-voiced dialogue," "authoring," "unfinalizability," and heteroglossia with the literary features of "twoness," dual images, and macrostructure of the dialogical narrative to illustrate the dialogue of genres as well as that of ideological voices, wherein the pro- and anti-monarchical voices constantly interact with each other. Studying archaeological evidence and literary examinations of prophetic books together, Lee explores the narrative redactor's intention of engaging both remnant and deportee communities in an unfinalized dialogue of different forms of polity for the restoration of their unity and prosperity in exilic and post-exilic contexts"--
