What's the Difference Between Text and Event?
Bible is a god's eye interpretation of that event, or god's eye view of that event. And so it's that inspired interpretation that we are meant to pay attention to rather than trying to understand exactly what happened in history. The tana has the chronicle scrolls in it that retell the story from genesis to the exile. You can sit down and compare the counterpart narratives in genesis through kings. That were likely the actual source material that the chronicler used. He adopts them or interpretive purpose, that's right, to make theological points.
