1 1Ki 7:23 apparent error measuring sea 1 Kin 7:23 LocalSaint 2485
  Bible critics use 1Ki 7:23 to argue that the bible has errors. The ratio of the stated circumfrence and diameter do not equal pi. Any insights?
2 2Ki 24:8 vs. 2Chr 36:9 - Jehoichin's age 2 Kin 24:8 LocalSaint 2486
  When Jehoichin (Jeconiah) became king of Judah, was he age 18 (2Ki 24:8) or age 8 (2Chr 36:9)?
3 Sorry - You Lost Me 2 Kin 24:8 LocalSaint 79210
  I'm sorry for being dense, but I can't understand your response. Can you reconcile the apparent discrepancy of Jehoiachin's (Jeconiah's) age in 2Ki 24:8 and 2Chr 36:9?

4 Jesus' Geneology -Shealtiel, Zerubbabel 1 Chr 3:17 LocalSaint 79208
  Both Mt 1 and Lk 3 show the geneology of Jesus as including Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel. But 1Chr 3:17-19 says Zerubbabel is the son of Pedaiah, and therefore Shealtiel's nephew.

How do Mt and Lk reconcile with 1Chr?

5 Mt 1 Excludes 4 Generations cf. 1Chr 1-3 Matt 1:1 LocalSaint 79209
  Mt 1:1-17 lists the geneology of Jesus from Abraham to Jesus as 41 generations, inclusive. The geneology in 1Chr 1-3 lists a portion of that list from Solomon to Shealtiel. Comparing the 2 lists, Mt is missing the following 4:
- Ahaziah (Azariah, Jehoahaz)
- Joash (Jehoash)
- Amaziah
- Jehoiakim (Eliakim)

1Chr 1-3 agrees with the full naratives in 2Ki, 2Chr, Jer.

2 of the 4 omissions were reasonably good kings (Jehoash, 2Ki 12:2 and Amaziah 2Ki 14:3); not perfect but not deserving exclusion/omission.

It reminds me of the discrepancy in years in 1Ki 1:1 (480 yrs) vs. Acts 13:18-21 (573 yrs after adding 40 yrs for King David's reign plus Solomon's 1st 3 yrs). 1Ki intentionally omitted the 8 plus 18 plus 20 plus 7 plus 40 equals 93 from 5 periods if punishment in Judges (3:8, 14; 4:2-3, 6:1; 13:1). Sir Robert Anderson calls this the "mystic era" in his book The Coming Prince.

Why the omission from Mt? Is this a "mystic generation"?
