Abstract To this day there is no consensus about the dating and literary growth of the Hezekiah-Isaiah narratives. This paper is a contribution designed to clarify the literary history of these stories. It considers processes of innerbiblical exegesis, aspects of a text-critical analysis and facets of their absolute and relative dating. Simultaneously, observations on the multiple cross connections with other texts reveal the theological substance of the stories: Experiences of misery that appear in the older Isaiah tradition developed into a salvation-theological ideal in the Hezekiah-Isaiah narratives.
