Point 18, 19, 20, 21 -"Jehoiachin age & reign period contradiction in bible?"

Point No. 18 - It is mentioned in the 2nd Kings, Ch. No 24, Verse No 8, that…‘Jehoiachin was 18 years old, when he began to reign Jerusalem, and he reigned for 3 months and 10 days. 2nd Chronicles, Ch. No 36, Verse No 9, says that…‘Jehoiachin was 8 years old when he began to reign and he reigned for 3 months, 10 days. Was Jehoiachin 18 years when he began to reign, or was he 8 years old?
Point No. 19 - Did he reign for 3 months, or did he reign for 3 months 10 days?
Point No. 20 - Further, it is mentioned in the 1st Kings, Ch. No 7, Verse No 26, that…‘In Solomon’s temple, in his molten sea, he had 2000 baths. In 2nd Chronicles, Ch. No 4, Verse No 5, he had 3000 baths. Did he have 2000 baths or did he have 3000 baths? – That, I leave it upon Dr. William Campbell to decide which is correct. There is a clear-cut mathematical contradiction.
Point No. 21 - Furthermore. it is mentioned in the First Kings, Ch. No. 15, Verse No. 33, that… ‘Basha, he died in the 26th year of reign of Asa.’ And 2nd Chronicles Ch. No 16, Verse No 1, says that…‘Basha invaded Judah in the 36th years of the reign of Asa.’ How can Basha invade 10 years after his death?  - It is unscientific.
Reply:
1) The Chronicles & Kings, history etc come under the Kevitum - Part which was written by different scriptwriters such as Jewish priests Ezra-Nehemiah etc. Not the revelations from G-D or the Prophecies from the G-D, or Not about Son-of- G-D. It is history of the Israeli-ties.  

2) As this was the history gathered from the various manuscripts longed back from many hundred of years, there may be differences, those contradictions will be common. The place, period and hierarchy will be important in the scenario. The numbers mismatch with the years, months or counts will have been common in those manuscripts. See the Historical scripts variance from the older post described.


3) 2000 baths or 3000 baths? First of all Mr. Scientific Zakir, it is not the Bath of Solomon  Bath are measures 1 Kings 7:26 & 2 Chronicles 4:5, First he created it for 2000 baths and he expanded for 3000 baths as needed. Avoid such stupid questions please! Also the above statements may reflect in respective to this query. 


4) For Eg : In 1513, Sultan Selim I ("The Grim") orders the massacre of Shia Muslims in Anatolia. There were many contradictions, from the scripts and the proofs. Many were says it extends to 3 months some says 4 months & 15 days. In many, it says several  scripts says 1000's were massacred, some others says some 100's were massacred

This is real historical event while numbers are not important, both scripts authenticity will be checked & will be added.


Foot Note:

So Mr. Scientific Mathematician please have at-least knowledge about what is a sacred test, its configuration and classifications with respect to history and matching authenticity. 
While check the history in Quran you will laugh and die. 
For Eg: 


  • quran (18:89-98) says, Alexander great was a Musalem :) funny!
  • quran (12:20) says, Joseph was sold for few dirhams, while dirhams was introduced many hundred years later.
  • quran (7:124, 26:49) says, Pharaoh threatens, with the punishment name Cusification. The crusification was invented by Romans, No historical records that Egypt used crusification as punishment.
  • quran (20:85-87, 95-97) says, Samaritans build golden calf at the moses time, while Samaritans were never existed at that time, they got originated several hundred years later.
  • Several more like many.
So Naik feel free , then check the Quran & history before claiming the history in Holy Bible 
:D
