How much of the Historical First and Second Kings books discovered in scrolls or verse-passages at Qumran and the Dead Sea Caves?

 Mordechai Cogan on Page 9 of

II Kings (a new translation with

Introduction and Commentary)

Volume 11 of ANCHOR BIBLE Series,

Doubleday (1960s forward) explains

Unlike other books of

the Bible -- for example,

Samuel, Isaiah, Psalms --

extensive copies of which

were discovered at Qumran

by the Dead Sea,

only scattered fragments of

a scroll of II Kings have been

identified, and these reflect

a text which varies only

slightly from the Massoretic

version / textual type.
