Talk:Syro-Ephraimite War

any archaeological or other nonbiblical sources for this war?
Because the article as presently written seems to take the Bible account as an accurate historical record. -  Metalello    talk 22:28, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Considering no one knows who wrote the books of the bible or when, and that the oldest manuscripts we have are from about 150 BC, with the Great Isaiah Scroll dating from 125 BC, so some 600 years after this war, how can these references be trusted? Or used to back up a so called prophecy written long after the event? As the Wikipedia points out, Genesis (the oldest book of the bible) dates from sixth to fourth century BC when the final draft was made, and Revelation 22:18-19 on the last page of the bible warns against changing the story, something bible scholars know happened, can any bible book be used as a trustworthy reference for any serious historical article?
