Did you all know that there are two chapters in the Bible that are word for word identical?
II Kings 19 and Isaiah 37.
It’s the account of Hezakiah. Two books, two different prophets but word for word the same. They were written 200 years apart!

Don’t forget Psalm 14 and Psalm 53.

2 kings is about the kingdom of Judah and the kings that ruled it. Isaiah was one of the prophets that lived in the kingdom of Judah.

My Bible reading plan was here today

Interesting! But Why is that? Is there a spiritual purpose or a theological point?

If they are from different times and they are copies, as I was telling mister Becker, this could be an authentication of the older text verifying that it had not been lost or corrupted and was still in use 200 years later
-
Yep they are more than two of them

Isn’t it the same Isaiah and Hezekiah from both chapters? It’s the same story pass down so it better be no different or else one of them would be lying

Yes. And yes Paul but not 100% identical.

I think 2 Psalms are the same.
-
That’s amazing 🙂
-
Don’t forget Psalm 14 and 53.
