You if you read 2Chronicles13:2, it says Michaiah (daughter of Uriel) is King Abijah’s mom; but 2 Chronicles11:20 says Maschah (daughter of Absalom) is his mom; but then again Absalom had only one daughter, Tamar! (2 samuel 14:27).

if you enjoyed reading those inconsistencies, the creation story is full of holes and illogical statements, mythology
god commands moon to shine...we know the sun shines and moon reflects
god says let there be light out of order and more or less says god isn't the light already and in darkness itself
Gen 1 creation order puts man and woman equal and before animals
Gen 2 quoted to justify inequality and woman is created after the sheep and animals were not enough, made out of a spare rib and then we see the dominion scripture that justifies man in charge and woman subservient and in trouble
god gives specific orders to Adam but blames and holds woman accountable for 'the fall'
old testament characters all responsible for felony offenses but new testament calls them righteous

Yep, they sure can. If you will look a bit closer you will see that your 2 Chron. passage is talking about the GRANDdaughter of Absolom, not the daughter as you state. Some translations will put it as daughter but at that time no distinction was made between daughter and granddaughter, same basic word for both. It was understood at the time that it was his granddaughter and if you will do a timeline on the births and lives of each you will see there is no way she could be the daughter but would have had to be the granddaughter of Absolom. You can get stuck on a small matter such as this and miss out on the full picture of what is really being taught. IF you look at the chronology of the events as you mention them, you are stating the daughter(granddaughter) is being born before her mother was even born or married. First you take the granddaughter, 2 Chron. 13:2, and then try to make it fit things that happened years before in 2 Chron. 11. Of course you will be confused when you do that and you can make it say anything that way. If you take it chronologically you will see that 2 Chron. 11 was written that way for a reason. It came before the incidents that happened later on in 2 Chron. 13. Make you a chart of the events as they happened and the names of those involved and you will see where you went wrong.

ROFLMAO
I'll give you a hint!
dealing with my family tree, and using the terminology of that time!
My father was R. Lee, a general of the south, perhaps you heard of my father.
If that is not bad enough, my father's brother was G. Washington.
You know the first president!
Before you get your panties in a knot, at that time there was no word for Grand father, or Great Grand father, or great anything!
There was only Father, Brother, uncle (seldom used)
it would be my fathers brother! Which could mean today Arion brother of Moses!

Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner is a good read.

Why is it so hard for people to realize that the Bible is a collection of books written over several centuries by male devotees of a desert demon, venerated by nomads, who developed into something else as they did? It is littered with contradictions, exactly for that reason.
Nobody ever asks whether they can trust in Shakespeare.

You have made mistakes here
The Bible was written in Chronological order, and so you have to read it in the order it was written.
Taking verses out of context is what so many people do, and then claim that the Bible is full of contradictions, which just is not true!

No, it can't be trusted. It has been modified over the times. The Quran is the only Holy book which is still in it's orignal form.

Not all of it. One example is that the concept of reincarnation had been removed for political reasons, many years ago. Is reincarnation fact or fiction? Check out the links below...
