Solomon had 40,000 stalls for horses in I Kings 4. 4000 stalls in 2nd Chronicles 9.
During King Asa's reign Baasha King of Isreal died in the 26th year in I Kings 15/16. He was still alive in the 36th year in I chronicles 16.

These are ridiculous examples. There are so many reasons why there is no contradiction. Here the writer numbers the "stalls", which were forty thousand, and there the "stables", which were four thousand, there being ten stalls in each. The word there has the letter "yod" in it more than here, which is the numerical letter for "ten", and may point thereunto; or here the writer speaks of all the stalls for horses Solomon had throughout the kingdom, there of those only he had in Jerusalem.

The same goes with the rest of your copied and pasted examples that involve so many of the examples of variance in numbers.

King Abijah's mother's name was Michaiah, daughter of Uriel in 13th chapter of 2nd chronicles and Maachah daughter of Absalom in 11th chapter.

Absalom however had only one daughter mentioned whose name was Tamar in 2nd Samuel 14

Maachah must have been, not his daughter, but his grand-daughter. Her father was Uriel of Gibeah whom, therefore, Tamar married. Maachah took her name from her great-grandmother 2 Sam 3:3.

Daughters and grandaughters were both considered daughters in Hebrew culture.

Joshua and the Isrealites captured Jerusalem in Joshua 10 and did not capture it in Joshua 15.

The KING was conquered in Josh 10 in war where four other kings were conquered.

Father of Joseph, husband of Mary was Jacob in Matthew 1 and Heli in Luke 3

Jewish culture also noted Mary's lineage in Luke 3 to be that of Joseph's, her husband.

Jesus descended from Solomon in Matthew 1 and from Nathan in Luke 3

ADAM CLARKE:

As the Hebrews never permitted women to enter into their genealogical tables, whenever a family happened to end with a daughter, instead of naming her in the genealogy, they inserted her husband, as the son of him who was, in reality, but his father-in-law. This import, bishop Pearce has fully shown, νομιζεσθαι bears, in a variety of places - Jesus was considered according to law, or allowed custom, to be the son of Joseph, as he was of Heli. The two sons-in-law who are to be noticed in this genealogy are Joseph the son-in-law of Heli, whose own father was Jacob, Mat_1:16; and Salathiel, the son-in-law of Neri, whose own father was Jechonias: 1Ch_3:17, and Mat_1:12. This remark alone is sufficient to remove every difficulty.

I can deal with each and every allegation you make if you really wish. But time is not allowing this for now.

However, let me spare time and deal with your "best".

OH, the best one - in Exodus 7 Moses and Aaron converted all of the water into blood. Then the magicians did the same. Which is puzzling, because there was no water left?[/B]

Exodus 7:20-22 KJV And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. (21) And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. (22) And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.

This is answered the easiest!

Exodus 7:24 KJV And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.

So much for your best.
