years in Egypt" (Exod. xii. 41). "Jacob was only four hundred years in
Egypt" (Acts vii. 6).
127. Did they see what the Lord did in Egypt? Yes: "You have seen all
the Lord did in Egypt" (Deut. xxix. 2). No: "You have seen nothing he
did in Egypt" (Deut. xxix. 4).
128. Who was the father of Salah? Arphaxad (Gen. xi. 12). Cainan (Luke
iii. 85).
129. Had Michal any children? No: "Michal had no children unto the day
of his death" (2 Sam. vi. 23). Yes: "The five sons of Michal" (2 Sam.

Deuteronomy says it was written on Mt. Horeb.

thousand (Num. xxv. 9). Corinthians says three and twenty thousand (1
Cor. x. 8).
132. When did Zachariah begin to reign? "In the thirty-eighth year of
Azariah" (2 Kings xv. 8). But a comparison of 2 Kings xlv. 29 and xv. 1
makes but fourteen years.

26, he had forty thousand. But, according to 2 Chron. ix. 25, it was
only four thousand.

thousand.

According to 1 Kings vii. 14, he was of the tribe of Naphthali. But,
according to 2 Chron. ii. 14, he was of the tribe of Dan.

Kings vii. 26, it contained two thousand; but, according to 2 Chron. iv.
5, three thousand.
138. How many mothers had Abijah? and who was she? According to 1 Kings
xv. 2, she was the daughter of Ablshalom. But 2 Chron. xi. 20 says
she was the daughter of Absalom; and 2 Chron. xiii. 2 says she was the
daughter of Uriel.
THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE KINGS OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL ARE A MASS OF CONFUSION.
139. Where was Ahazlah killed, and how often? According to 2 Chron.

was killed again.
