winsome bling :
not the year of Asa’s reign, but this is the year of the division of the kingdom
which was in the period of Jeroboam.”
The Christian scholars, however, have admitted that the text of Chronicles is

Contradiction No. 39
The text of 2 Chronicles 15:19 is this:
“And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of Asa.”
This text is again contradicting the text of 1 Kings 15:33 as has been shown

three thousand and three hundred in 1 Kings 5:16, whereas in 2 Chronicles 2:2
this number is mentioned as three thousand and six hundred. The Greek
translators have altered this number making it six hundred.
Contradiction No. 41
The text of 1 Kings 7:26 giving the description of the ”molten sea” made by
Solomon says, ”It contained two thousand baths”, while the text of 2
Chronicles 4:5 claims, ”It received and held three thousand baths”.
The Persian translation, 1838, speaks of the capacity of two thousand
”idols”. The Persian translation, 1845, contains, ”Two thousand vessel,” And
the Persian translation, 1838, contains, ”three thousand idols”. The
inconsistencies and discrepancies of these various texts speak for themselves.
Contradiction No. 42
When chapter 2 of the Book of Ezra is compared with chapter 7 of

Apart from textual differences, there are errors in number of the Israelites. In the
two chapters there are twenty numerical contradictions and many others where
names are concerned. We reproduce below the errors concerning the numbers of
the liberated Israelites:
