Fred,

I'm not sure ifI can make it any more clear for you. There are simply some manuscripts that say 18 in Chronicles. Some don't. Therefore, some are right and some are wrong.

Since we have confirmation from Kings that the number is 18, we know that the manuscripts that say 18 in Chroncicles are right and the ones that say 8 are incorrect. Since we have some manuscripts that say 18 in Chronicles, the Bible is not errant.

Sincerely,
Jason
