"you googled a nice list of references but none of these deal with the fact that Yahweh could not be the creator god if Yahweh was a consort of asherah in the 11th century b.c. Yahweh could not have spoken to moses on mt Sinai as the war with the kings of Israel and sumeria occurred around 1000bc. Yahweh was a cult god at that time as shown by his association with asherah"
the yahwist revision of history is shown throughout the books of chronicles and kings.the yahwist revision is always written first and ,is elaborate than the eloist version.
this is seen in genesis. the convoluted creation story of adam and eve
(there is no example in nature of the male giving birth to the female,this was a political ploy),but following the yahwist version ,the eloist version simply says god created man and woman.
the story of david and Samuel also shows well edited examples of 2 versions.
initially when david approached Samuel, smuel already knew twoof davids btoyjrs as they had fought for him.saul knew of the house of Jesse from which david came.samuel gets david to try on his armor, but david says the armor is too encumbering so he takes it of and goes to face goliath with his simple sling.
but after david allegedly kills goliath and is returning with his head, saul cries out "who s that person" referring to david.he is told his name is david and he is of the house of jesse.
so saul seems to have totally forgot who david was. this s the eloist addition which shows david was not on intimate relations with saul as the first version implies.
in addtion the yahwist version has saul giving david his daughter inmarriage, yet this follows with the elois version of saul tying o kill david as a threat to his sovereignty
and of course the major revision that give david the credit for killing goliath instead of Elhanan

Coincidentally, in the version crediting Elhanan with killing Goliath, David is already king, and Elhanan is a member of David’ elite fighting group known as “The Thirty.”
The Elhanan version also retains some of the original mythical flavor of the contest. It is one of a sequence of four short stories about individual members of “The Thirty” killing four different giants. Interestingly, in the introductory verse to these four stories about Elhanan and the others, we are told that “David waxed faint,” had grown tired.
Although Elhanan’s father is called Jaareoregim in the verses about Elhanan’s victory over Goliath, the listing of the members of David’s “Thirty” calls the father Dodo. Since the other three giant killers also belong to “The Thirty,” this is the clearly same Elhanan.
