1 | 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? LocalSaint |

2 | 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"? LocalSaint |

3 | 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? LocalSaint |

4 | 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)? | ||||||
5 | 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? | ||||||
