Dear Prof. Thompson,

I wonder if you could explain what you mean by this phrase? For I find
one of the major difficulties I have with views such as yours and
Prof. Lemche's is that of explaining how the books of Kings come to
include a significant amount of data which is confirmed in various
quite different sources, mainly Assyrian and Babylonian.

Peter Kirk

But II Kings here is drawing on a literary trope, and must be so
understood, before we can talk about its historical uses.
