How many stalls and horsemen?

Question

Dear Bro & Sis

KI1 4:26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

CH2 9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

I think there is some mathematical error in bible.

Answer 1

Did you read the little reference in the side column of your Bible that explains the difference?

It is the difference between the Septuagint and the Majority texts, oh wait, why am I even bothering, you just looking for an excuse not to believe...

Answer 2

Hey, The Bible tells you "in the beginning". The Bible is a genealogy of the Jewish blood line from Adam to Jesus.

Proof: All the names in the Bible are Jewish names. The Jewish family tree goes back 6,000 years. It does not pretend to be the family tree for the whole world, and it does not pretend that the whole Earth is only 6,000 years old.

Proof: Do you see any Chinese names in the "Bible"?

Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible. Well, he didn't write them from scratch. He compiled all the stories that had been floating around about his family tree. If two stories conflicted, he put them both in. (What did you expect? He should be an editor for the New York Times? "Alright, already"

Besides that, there are two stories in the Bible about Adam and Eve.

In Fact "Kings" has a lot of repeat stories, but Moses needed them all to fill up his scroll cart.

Solmon loved horses so much that one day while grooming one of his favourite horses he forgot to pray the evening prayer. So he asked God if he can go back to the future so he can pray. God granted his wish. So he is the first prophet to time travel.
