RevG

NASB I Chron 3:22, "And the SON of Shecaniah was Shemiah, and the sons of
Shemiah were Hattush, Iaal, Bariah, Neraiah, and Shaphat, six.

Now flame, pay attention. There is ONLY one son of Shecaniah; but the bible
gives the names of five, then says SIX. Compared with verse 23 we see "And the
sons of Neriah were Elioenia, Hizkiah, and Azrikam, THREE. So verse 23 correctly
counts the sons, and doesn't include the father. Verse 24 is wrong. The context
is the chapter.

Paul, would you please add this exchange to the site, it would come in handy for
future reference.
