Reconciling 480 years in 1 Ki 6:1 with 570 years in Acts 13:18-22
At first glance, it appears that 1 Ki 6:1 contradicts Acts 13:18-22. In fact, these passages don’t contradict. You have to account for an overlap in years during the time of the judges. In 1 Ki 6:1, the time between the Exodus and the fourth year of Solomon’s reign is 480 years. The time for […]
Kings of Judah to the Babylonian Captivity

Is Shallum’s reign a Bible Contradiction?
He reigned between Josiah and Jehoiakim. In Jer 22:10-11, we find a “problem” text or what a critic would call a “contradiction”. It says, “Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. For thus saith […]
