This is not about the popular John 1:1 which the writer of the Gospel of John failed to credit the original writer of those words, Phyllo of Alexandria.

This is about two "divinely inspired" writers of two books of the Bible.

1. The book of Isiah.
The book of Isiah was written, as agreed by Bible scholars, by the prophet Isiah. They also agreed that it was written somewhere between 740 and 680 BC. Isiah was a great Jewish prophet in his time, and many of his prophecies are still subjects of debate till date.

2. The book of Kings
A general agreement is that the author of I and II Kings is unknown. But some Bible scholars believe the books to have been written by the prophet Jeremiah around 562 or 561 BC.


No doubt, both books were written about two centuries apart.
But check the whole of Isiah chapter 37, and the whole of II Kings chapter 19!!!

Were both chapters written through inspiration?
Or one author copied the work of the other? (By inspiration, some will say)
Or that it was an error of compilation?

Ask the Holy Spirit who is the author.

ifenes:


Can you ask and tell us the answer you got from the holy spirit?

OLAADEGBU:


Do you believe He exists?

ifenes:


Are you dodging the question I asked you?

OLAADEGBU:


Why should I entertain your question if you don't believe in His existence?

OLAADEGBU:


Ask the Holy Spirit who is the author.

Sarassin:
In the case of the Book of Isaiah, it has long been postulated that it is not the writings of a single author, there is talk of a Deutero-Isaiah or a “second Isaiah” who wrote of events that took place long after the supposed life-span of the prophet Isaiah from the standpoint of a living witness as evidenced by events alluded to in the latter chapters of the book.

What is more, writings in the Old Testament were generally homogenous, particularly the Book of Kings, likely compiled by courtiers and priests during the reign of one of the lesser kings of Israel, relied on the traditions passed on to them. We should also keep in mind that material was often juxtaposed between books, receivers rarely knew for a fact where one book ended and another began.
