Re: disputes over the text
Arachnophilia: Your mentioning the 2Kings 14:6 taken from the book of Deuteronomy is correct. However, you failed to notice the person quoting it in 2Kings lived two hundred years BEFORE the book of Deuteronomy was 'supposedly' written during the reign of Josiah. How can a person quote from a written source if that source isn't written for another two centuries?

Arachnophilia: I don't agree that the quote in 2Kings 14:6 is an anachronism. 2Kings 22:14-16 states the book of the Law was found, not written during the renovation of the Temple in the reign of King Josiah. The Welhausen critics say Deuteronomy was written during King Josiah's reign. 2Kings 14:6 destroys the Welhausen's theory Deuteronomy was written during Josiah's reign.

Re: disputes over the text
Arachnophilia: Was it only Deuteronomy that was found during the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign? Deuteronomy 31:24-26 states that the Book of the Law was placed inside the Ark of the Covenant prior to Moses death. The Book of the Law is the Written Torah (not only Deuteronomy). 2Kings 14:6 King Amaziah quotes Deuteronomy 24:16 two centuries before Josiah is born. Obviously, the Ark was in Jerusalem at that time. 2Kings 22:8 Hilkiah the High Priest finds the Book of the Law inside the House of the L-RD. He takes it Shaphan the scribe who then determines it is authentic and then takes it to the King. Where did Hilkiah find the Book of the Law inside the Temple? Inside the Ark of the Covenant where the Book of the Law was kept since Moses. 2Chronicles 35:3 mentions the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark isn't mentioned again until 2Maccabees when the prophet Jeremiah ordered the Ark and the Tabernacle to be taken out of Jerusalem seven years before Jerusalem is destroyed by Babylon. 2Chronicles 34 states in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign the Book of the Law was found confirming 2Kings 22:8 record.
