Another reason why we should give the Bible the benefit of the doubt!
I actually went to the British Museum a couple of months ago and they had an actual clay tablet from the pre-exilic period, and it spoke of a person of the same name and same position as described in the book of kings. I’ve read of such things, but seeing it with my own eyes really helped my faith.
The OT is very accurate in small details which could not have simply been made up centuries later.
