Bible Question (short): Clarification of year period problem |
Question (full): Dear Sir, I want to clarify the difference of 7 years and 3 years of the same event from the bible. Please help me to solve my query. Thank you for your attention. 2 Samuel 24:13 So Gad went to David and said to him, "Shall there come upon you three [ 24:13 Septuagint (see also 1 Chron. 21:12); Hebrew [seven ] ] years of famine in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me." (Whole Chapter: 2 Samuel 24 In context: 2 Samuel 24:13-14) 1 Chronicles 21:12 three years of famine, three months of being swept away [ 21:12 Hebrew; Septuagint and Vulgate (see also 2 Samuel 24:13) [ of fleeing ] ] before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the Lord -days of plague in the land, with the angel of the Lord ravaging every part of Israel.' Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me." (Whole Chapter: 1 Chronicles 21 In context: 1 Chronicles 21:12-13) |
