New Readings in 4Q118 I (4QChronicles) and a Parallel at 4Q381 31 (4QNon-Canonical Psalms B)

4Q118 preserves parts of two columns of text, the second of which contains a portion of 2 Chronicles. The first column preserves the final letters of three lines (lines 4-6), but its text is as yet unidentified. This article proposes three new readings for column i of this fragment and argues that a parallel is to be found in 4Q381. Some implications of the proposed parallel are explored thereafter.
