The biblical accounts in 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles regarding David's census differ primarily in their attribution of the census's instigation and in the specific numbers reported. 2 Samuel 24 attributes the census to God, while 1 Chronicles 21 attributes it to Satan tempting David

Hail Satan

Sacred Scripture is inerrant. Apparent contradictions, such as those in 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 regarding David's census, are reconcilable through careful exegesis, considering divine inspiration, historical context, and theological intent. Both accounts are true, with differences reflecting distinct emphases in God's revelation.

Yes.

Exegesis resolves apparent discrepancies by recognizing complementary perspectives under divine inspiration.

Copyrighting errors can still happen.

All manuscripts of 2 Kings agree it’s 22. The ancient Syriac and Arabic manuscripts of 2 Chronicles state it’s 22. A few ancient Hebrew manuscripts say 42. So it’s 22, and some scribes made a mistake.

I love how the story in 2 Samuel opens
>Again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel
No context or explanation given. Just "Yahweh was pissed off again." As usual.

>Exegesis resolves apparent discrepancies by inventing explanations that are not apparent in the text. Kind of like a nerd reconciling Star Trek episodes with contradicting lore.
Fixed it for you.
