Bible Question:
2 Chronicles 36:9 says in most Bibles that Jehoiachin was 8 years old when he took the throne. 2 Kings 24:8 says he was 18. Are these writers coming from different perspectives on this? |
Bible Answer: PJC, God's day to you. You seem to pick on portions of the Bible. It is more important to study the Word instead of trying to find what one thinks is an error. There are no errors in the original, just some problems with the later texts and translations ... which a Christian should know. The term "copyist’s errors" is used. While I believe the original inspired word match ... someone forgot to make the marks clearly or the text got smudged ...
