Ingrid Hjelm examines the composition of the Books of Kings, using
the Hezekiah narratives in 2 Kings 18GCo20 as a focus. She argues
that this narrative is taken from that of the book of Isaiah, with
which it shares linguistic and thematic elements. In Kings, it is
used with the specific purpose of breaking the compositional
pattern of curse, which threatens to place Jerusalem on a par with
Samaria. Jerusalem traditions are examined against theories of a
late Yahwist author and the PentateuchGCOs origin within a
Jerusalem cult. While the Pentateuch in its final form became a
common work, acceptable to all groups because of its implied
ambiguity, the Deuteronomistic HistoryGCOs favoring of David and
Jerusalem holds a rejection of competitive groups as its implied
argument.
