Since some Hebrew manuscripts, the Septuagint, the Syriac, some translations, and 2 Kings 24:8 say 18 we can conclude that 18 is a probable answer. I'm not saying that all English translations are inerrant. However, I am saying that the original manuscripts were inerrant and this is revealed by the manuscripts and translations that we have, today.

Sincerely,
Jason
