Perhaps because they were ignorant or committed an intellectual misstep. While I am not a believer in Biblical inerrancy, to some extent I sympathize with the fundamentalists, as the real discrepancies are often exaggerated in both quantity and severity.

What is it?

On what grounds? This evidence is even more spurious than I ordinarily see regarding alleged contradictions.

Book? Chapter? Verse? I suspect you may inadvertently be taking things out of context.

I personally think any errors (I believe them to be real but much fewer in number than some claim) are the result of intellectual missteps from mortals rather than any evil supernatural influence.
