An historic and literary analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of the fall from height experienced by Israeli King Ocozhyia (book of kings 2: 2-17). We conclude that the clinical course was brief, there was no brain injury and it is likely that he developed a fracture but no retroperitoneal, soft tissue or vascular injury. Most likely hypovolemia and respiratory insufficiency derived from thoraco-abdominal injury caused his death. The biblical writer apparently was close to the action.
进行了一项历史和文学分析，以评估以色列国王奥科齐亚（《列王纪下》2:2 - 17）坠楼事件的临床特征。我们得出结论，临床病程短暂，无颅脑损伤，很可能发生了骨折，但无腹膜后、软组织或血管损伤。最有可能的是，胸腹部损伤导致的低血容量和呼吸功能不全导致了他的死亡。圣经作者显然很接近事件发生现场。
