(2 Kings 20:1-11) varies more from that before us than in the preceding chapter. So far as they are parallel, the narrative in Kings is more minute and circumstantial, and at the same time more exactly chronological in its arrangement.

All these circumstances favour the conclusion that the text before us is the first draft, and the other a repetition by the hand of the same writer.

(J. A. Alexander.)
