This paper raises a question as to how to read a theologically distorted text. It focuses on Dtr’s indictment that Manasseh personally holds responsibility for the fall of Jerusalem in a way to raise an issue of the ethics of the reader. The Deuteronomistic History is known for its explicit influence of the Deuteronomistic viewpoint of retribution, which governs the entire course of history it relates. The viewpoint is summarized easily by the covenant formula in that good deeds are rewarded and bad deeds are punished. In this strict cause and effect worldview, any misfortune cannot come without a cause. One of the cardinal features of the present form of the DH is to account for the fall of Jerusalem despite Josiah’s successful cult reform. The answer given by the text is no secret. It blames the sins of Manasseh, the grandfather of Josiah, which nullified Josiah’s heroic effort. In this sense, Manasseh provides a unique opportunity to raise question about whether he actually was a sinner, or was a scapegoat of the Deuteronomistic worldview that needed to hide the serious theological problem of divine absence and vulnerability in time of the greatest need. While some scholars have acknowledged that Manasseh was scapegoated by the text, its theological implications have seldom been spelled out. This paper attempts to move further and discuss the role of the interpreter as to how to deal with the violence of the text by rewriting the contexts of the text by means of intertextuality. Using the book of Job and the Gospel of John, it is argued that an intertextual networking provides a new way to cope with a textual violence by providing a way to overcome its original limitation.
