The Chronicler’s Use of Sources in His Retelling of the Story of Ahaz (2 Chronicles 28)

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper examines biblical allusions to the story of Ahaz in 2 Chronicles 28. While earlier scholars have dealt mainly with 2 Kings 16 and Isaiah 7 as its parallels, this paper offers additional biblical sources that the Chronicles has made use of in his retelling of the Ahaz story. These additional sources help the Chronicler in reshaping his version of King Ahaz’s character.
