My biggest issue is with the last sentence, which states, "Nobody can become king at 22, captured by an invading army, and 20 years later, when he is free and is king again, he is 2 years younger than the original age he became king." I feel it does not carry a neutral tone as stated in the Knowledge policy. 191: 489: 462: 499: 249: 222: 1188:
Firstly, I feel it can be written better. There are some minor grammatical errors, such as forgetting to capitalise 'Kings' in "2 Kings 8:26". As well as this, it also uses numerous colloquialisms such as "when you look at earlier manuscripts , it says 20 years not 42.", instead of, for example,

Unless corrected for consistency, it is likely a translation error. 1268: 1248: 888: 874: 789: 722: 338: 717: 652: 401: 362: 168: 1293: 1185:
The final paragraph under this section talks about how Ahaziah of Judah's age is inconsistent. However, there are a couple issues.
