Pilgrim simply highlighted what I had been telling you all along. It's odd how you are getting so confused about this issue because my answers have been very clear and concise. Nonetheless, perhaps it would be in your best interest to move on. It would definitely benefit you more than being condescending.

(Fred) For the record, I do not believe your answers have been clear and concise, at least as to pertaining to what I was asking. I specifically asked to explain the discrepancy between 2 Kings 24 and 2 Chronicles 36 in the Hebrew text, not 2 Kings 24 in the Hebrew compared to discrepant translations of 2 Kings 24, or translations of 2 Chronicles 36 for that matter. Ancient translations aside, how do we explain the fact that 2 Kings 24 has 18 years for the king and 2 Chronicles 36 has 8? I agree that the king was 18 when he came to his throne, but then how do we explain the discrepancy found in 2 Chronicles 36? That is the issue.
But I agree; it may be time to move on to another topic. What did you think of Pink's book on Sovereignty?
