N2 - The article deals with the descriptions of Judah's territorial expansion in sections of II Chronicles that do not appear in Kings. It suggests that these accounts, which represent a central theme in Chronicles, were written in order to legitimize Hasmonean territorial expansion. More precisely, the article focuses the spotlight on the days of John Hyrcanus, in the late 2nd century BCE.
