Description
xThe Twice Told Tale: Parallels in the Bible is a title by Abba Bendavid that attempts to help the reader make sense of I and II Chronicles, a part of the Bible that is often overlooked. This English edition (using the classic text of the King James Version), of a work originally written in Hebrew, provides the entire Book of Chronicles in one column, with the parallel verses from other books of the Bible in an accompanying column on the same page. In arranging the text this way, the reader is able to see the parallel texts that are found not just in Kings and Samuel but also the Pentateuch and the Prophets. Words or phrases that are omitted in one source are represented by blank spaces of appropriate length in the opposite column, allowing for the reader to make their own deductions from the duplications, differences, or even silence of the text.
