kosta-2 Sam 6:23 says Michal had no children and 2 Sam 21:8 says she had five!,

fk-My Bible says the latter is Merab

Merab had five children (2 Sam 21:8). Michal had none. (2 Sam 6:23).

Perhaps kosta would be better off if he spent less time trying to prove the Bible wrong rather than studying it.

That's interesting. If you studied yours a little harder, HD, you would know that you are reading a redacted and doctored version of the Bible in which these inconsistencies have been removed by men, for two Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac, the KJV, say Michal instead of Merab.

I think at this point I will rest my case.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and the names of his TWO daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab and the name of the younger Michal. 1 Sam 14:49

Merab had five children (2 Sam 21:8). Michal had none. (2 Sam 6:23).

Thanks, Harley, that's great support. I need it :), and I know that when/if I ever say anything that is true, it will be there.
