Many pages Of Thomas Jefferson's Notes

Two Years Older Than HIS Father.

at. D." writes as follows to the editor of
the Auburn Advertiser: "In all the trans
lations of the Hebrew Bible into English,
viz, the version of King James, and the
Oxford and American Bible Society editions
OF the same, in the Douay versions of the
Roman Catholic church, as we'll as In the
new versions of the English and American
divines, occurs the common oversight or
blunder IN stating in the Second Chronicles
that King Ahaziah was forty and two years
old on his accession to the throne of Judea
at the death of his father, who died at the
age of 40, thus making King Abaziah two
years older than his father. See Second
Chronicles, xxi, 20, and xii, l. See also
Second Kings viii, 26, where his age is cor
rectly stated 1t is certainly literary Gu
riosity that with all the comparison, COLA
tion, study and controversy about readings
and meanings of the text, greater in regard
to the Bible than in regard to any other
book, all its learned scholars, commentators
and controyersialists should have in common
overlooked an absurd blunder such as this.

manifest blunder, it should not have been
allowed to pass without correction, it being
