The units of measurement or time in the last 4,000 years have gone through a lot of changes through the course of history, therefore, the passages involving these measurements are best reconciled by understanding how they were measured in the past and by comparing it to the present. I must admit though, that most of the confusion in these passages are really interpretational errors by skeptics who can’t seem to understand the English which they fluently speak or those who do not understand the background behind the passages which they allege to be contradictory. We could have included these passages under (I) instead they were included here because it is in their “numerical” contents that the skeptics got confused in reckoning. It is also important to remember that these numerical “discrepancies” do not affect the major Christian doctrines, involving Sin and Salvation, our understanding of the attributes of God, etc. Finally, the common “contradictory” pairs are usually found in these books:
 |
2 Samuel vs. 1 Chronicles |
|
1 Kings or 2 Kings vs. 2 Chronicles |
|
Ezra vs. Nehemiah |
