Abstract

The book of Chronicles abounds with women. It mentions by name over sixty women—more than any other single biblical book—refers to quite a few anonymous women, usually in relation to others, such as “the wife ofx,” “the daughter ofy,” “the mother ofz,” and several times mentions women as a group.¹ some of the names and their bearers are also mentioned in other biblical works, and were most probably taken over from these sources, while others are peculiar to Chronicles. Chronicles’ testimony on the topics of women and gender is quite complex, so a few words
