In answer to your "who" question, apparently our friend Ian, who wrote 
that "[the book of] Kings has almost nothing to support anything it 
says." But then is he "among the critical minds"?

        [Niels Peter Lemche]  Who are talking about blanket rejection? This
is on of the stereotypes of the evangelical part of the community: If you 
reject one line, you reject everything. Who among the critical minds have 
rejected the idea that there once was a great kingdom of the House of 
Omri/Israel of the name Ahab? Or of the kinddom of Judah called Hezekiah? Or 
that Sennacherib actually attacked Hezekiah and forced him into submission 
without having to burn down Jerusalem (he destroyed the rest)?
