1 | Eight or Eighteen when Jehoiachin reign | 2 Chr 29:6 | Ray | 75837 | ||
Hi jlpangilinan, I hope that this discrepancy does not affect your faith in the truthfullness of the Scriptures. It isn't exactly a question that will have any bearing on one's salvation. :) When I compare the verses here I look for what I can learn about God and our relationship with Him. I found that Jehoiachin "did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord". I think that that fact is more important than how old he was when he started to reign. I thought that it was interesting in comparing the passages that the temple, the house of the Lord is important. 2 Chronicles 36:7, "Nebuchadnezzar also brought some of the articles of the house of the Lord/ to Babylon and put them in his temple at Babylon....9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned three months AND TEN DAYS in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord." It goes on and talks about the defilement of the house of the Lord/ which He had sanctified in Jerusalem. Contrast/compare that with 2 Chron 29:3 where the doors of the house of the Lord/ were repaired and the Levites consecrated themselves and consecrated the house of the Lord... Contrast/compare 2 Kings 24:13 where the vessels of gold were cut in pieces "which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord,/ just as the Lord had said." The slashes are mine for comparison; but what I am trying to say is that we should gain from the study of God's word more than dates and times. I say that as stating a general rule rather than a finding fault with your question. From the heart, Ray |

2 | Contradictions | 2 Chr 29:6 | jlpangilinan | 75841 | ||
I am not quoting that to attack the bible but instead to find explaination why that verse seems has contradictions. We know that Bible is a reliable soource, and we believed that Bible has no contradictions. So if aome one can explain why it was written differently it is ok. 2Ch 36:9 said that he is eight years old. in Ki 24:8 it was stated that he was eighteen years old, so if the Bible really has no contradictions why its stated like that 8 to 18 is a big gap. Finding fault is ok as Jesus say we have search for the truth, if we can find explainations for that it is ok so if someone challenge us to explain that we can depend the Bible more accurately. God bless, |

Jamieson, Fausset, Brown says the following: "8. Jehoiachin--that is, "God-appointed," contracted into Jeconiah and Coniah (Jeremiah 22:24). eighteen years old when he began to reign--At the age of eight his father (Jehoiakim)took him into partnership in the government (2 Chronicles 36:9). He began to reign alone at eighteen." |

Desciplirami, You posted that answer to me twice, I read the passages that quoted in your answer and it is not clear. The reason why I keep posting that question is to get some input other than yours, do you think I will post that again if I dont want other answers? God bless, |
