Why is 2 Kings 19 exactly identical to Isaiah 37?This is something I just came across while doing a bit of bible-debunking study. I posted this same question on a fundy message board I used to belong to, but the only replies I have gotten, are people claiming that it points to the validity of the text, or to ask me if I believe the bible is god's word. I've been evasive with them so far, because I'm really interested in what rationalization there could be for having two chapters be exactly the same.Has anyone ever discussed this before? Any thoughts?

There can only be one reason the writers of kings copied the older book of Isaiah. Remember the collection of books we now have did not exist at that time. In some cases the quoted texts have been lost, the quote ensures that portion of the text survives with the book of Kings.

Well my curiosity got the better of me and I drug out the old Bible and looked up what you said. From what I can tell, at the end of the passage in 2 Kings 20, it says "isn't this all written in the book of the kings of Judah?" So it's acknowledged in the text that it is elsewhere. Kinda goofy, whatever. I don't think it necessarily demonstrates any real contradiction or error ... more to me it's like an illustration of how the Hebrew scriptures weren't really meant to be read like a cohesive story (as it is treated by fundies) but as a bunch of often random historical documents written by lots of different men. When thought of this way, it takes all that pressure off of me to prove the Bible is all wrong or completely right. It's neither. I don't really have a problem with the Bible as a historical document and as a mythological document ... I think it must capture pretty well life in that time and place. I think it has wisdom and beauty in it, and it has stupidity and sordidness in it. Pretty much like the rest of what's out there in the world. If my parents ask me if I think the Bible is inspired, I'll say sure, some of it, in parts. But so are some really great comic books. And I mean it.
