Old Testament Parallels

Old Testament Parallels: The Same Story, Told Twice

The Old Testament tells some events more than once, and not always the same way. Samuel and Kings record the monarchy with a prophet's candor; Chronicles retells it later for a returned people with a priest's hope, and quietly leaves some shadows out. Exodus and Deuteronomy give the commandments with different reasons attached. Each page below sets the parallel accounts side by side in the King James text, explains honestly why they differ, and follows them to Christ, the one story they are all serving.
