4.God sent his prophet to threaten David with how many years of famine?
(a) Seven (2 Samuel 24:13)
samauel chapter 24 verse 13 says in king james version
."13So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me (this in the king james version)
samuel chapter 24 verse 13 says in the international version
in the new international version there is no contradition.it reads as follows"13 So Gad went to David and said to him, "Shall there come upon you three years of famine in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me."
so now i have shown from version to version..contradiction.
(b) Three (I Chronicles 21:12) king james version
first chronicles chapter 21 verse 12 in the king james version says as follows
12Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
1 Chronicles 21:12 (New International Version) 12 three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the LORD -days of plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.' Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me."
3. How many fighting men were found in Judah?
(a) Five hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9)
2 samuel chapter 24 verse 9 says
9 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to the king: In Israel there were eight hundred thousand able-bodied men who could handle a sword, and in Judah five hundred thousand.
(b) Four hundred and seventy thousand (I Chronicles 21:5)
1 chronicles chapter 21 verse 5 says
5 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah.
how many many fighting men were in "judah" who knows mabe a million..the bible clearly cant tell if it was eight hundred thousand or if it was four hundred and seventy thousand...many counting problems in the bible
Allah (Arabic: الله Allāh,) is the standard Arabic word for God.While the term is best known in the West for its use by Muslims as a reference to God, it is used by Arabs of all Abrahamic faiths, including Mizrahi Jews, Baha'is and Eastern Orthodox Christians, in reference to God.
According to Islam, God, known in Arabic as Allah, is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator, Sustainer, Ordainer, and Judge of the universe.Islam puts a heavy emphasis on the conceptualization of God as strictly singular (tawhid). God is unique (wahid) and inherently one (ahad), all-merciful and omnipotent
as in the contradiction of yesterday about who incited david to count the fighting men todays contradiction is also in conection with this one
2.In that count how many fighting men were found in Israel?
(a) Eight hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9)
2samuel chapter 24 verse 9 says
9 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to the king: In Israel there were eight hundred thousand able-bodied men who could handle a sword, and in Judah five hundred thousand.
(b) One million, one hundred thousand (IChronicles 21:5)
1 chronicles chapter21 verse 5 says
5 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah
hmmmm seems a contradiction or a counting problem but oh it was one man that counted "joab"i dont think he told king david in one minute
there were 8 hundred thousand and then turn around another minute and say i mistaked it was one million one hundred thousand.
