51. For 11Q5, see Sanders, The Psalms Scroll of Qumrân Cave 11 (DJD 4; Oxford:
Clarendon, 1965). For 11Q6, see Florentino García Martínez, Eibert J. C. Tigchelaar,
and Adam S. van der Woude, “11QPsalms b ,” in Qumran Cave 11.II: 11Q2-18, 11Q20-
31 (DJD 23; Oxford: Clarendon, 1998), 37–47.
52. Published by García Martínez, Eibert J. C. Tigchelaar, and Adam S. van der
Woude, “11QApocryphal Psalms,” in Qumran Cave 11.II: 11Q2-18, 11Q20-31 (DJD 23;
Oxford: Clarendon, 1998), 181–205. These psalms are intended to be recited in order
to fend off demons. In one of them the name of Solomon occurs (11Q11 2.2). The
reference to the wise king in such a context reflects the ancient roots of the well-known
tradition, which depicts Solomon as versed in magic. Cf. the comments of Stone, “The
Dead Sea Scrolls and the Pseudepigrapha,” 291–92 (see n8). However, these psalms
are not ascribed to Solomon, nor is any other nonbiblical composition from Qumran,
at least in the surviving fragments.

to Chronicles (DJD 16; Oxford: Clarendon, 2000), 85–106.
