In tracking down the resolution of another obvious discrepancy between the ages of Jehoiachin in Kings versus Chronicles we examine a wealth of biblically stimulating facts and stories.

We start with the opinions of textual critics and Bible commentators, which naturally leads into study of profanity, the profane, the abominable, the common, and the defiled in the Bible, and in the world today. We revisit the various counting methods employed by God, and offer a few thoughts on men who revered the Bible and why you should too!

For context we go back to Solomon and the division of the kingdom, the prophecy of Josiah, and against Jeroboam, the two prophets in I Kings 13, (the man of God from Judah and the old, lying prophet in Bethel), and one of the strangest stories in the Bible. Then we close with an examination of the term “the promised land.”
