AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Chronicles 22:2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri. [2 Kin 8:26] |
Bible Question:
Was Ahaziah 22 years old when he began to reign (as stated in 2 Kings 8:26) or 42 years old (as stated in 2 Chron 22:2 in the KJV, NKJV, Amplified, American Standard Version (1901), RSV, God's Word and NRSV)? Why only do the NASB, NIV, NCV, NLT and Young's Literal Translation only have this stated correctly? |
Bible Answer: His reign lasted only one year beginning at age 22 (2Kings 8:25); the Masoretic Text of 2 Chron 22:2 gives his age as 42(Septuagint "twenty"; some manuscripts "twenty-two"). Taken froom the Eerdmans Bible Dictionary. |
