Bible Question (short): "discrepencies" in the Word ? |
Question (full): There are those who search the Scriptures for discrepencies to satisfy their "own" reasoning or have an "excuse." See: http://www.infidels.org/library/magazines/tsr/1990/4/4contr90.html Included here is one example. Was wondering if anyone has an answer. (Col. 4:6) Thanks. Concerning the eight sons of Jesse, 1 Chronicles 2:13-15 does indeed only list and specify seven sons. Whereas 1 Samuel 17:12 and 2 Samuel 16:10-11 specify eight. I Chronicles 2:13-15 in listing the sons of Jesse says that David was the seventh. Yet I Samuel 16:10-11 states that David was Jesse's eighth son: "And Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Jehovah hath not chosen these. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he is keeping the sheep." |
