Afterwards Solomon began the Temple in his 3rd year = 3
Total 573 years
This differs by 93 years to the account given in 1st Kings Chapter 6
Wilderness yeear -40
David reign- 40
Saul -40
Judges period -450
Solomon -3
These were total of 573 years
According to firt king chapter 6, It was reported that it was 480 right?
Okay lets take away 573 from 480 to give us 93 years as we all know.
Is there any mistake in the Bible? NO!
Everything in the bible is correct.
Now, lets find the remaining 93 years
From the book of Judges 3 up till somewhere in chapter 8, the isrealites disobeyed God by worshipping Idols and God on 5 different occssions punished them and for every time they cried unto him for help, he raised them delievers. let us look at those number of years
mesopotamia they were in bondage for 8 years
moad 18 years
canaan 20 years
midianite 7
philistines 40
All these add up to 93 years
Now why did God take away the 93 years? God too away the 93 yers because God does not count our past when we are not in him, that is why you become a new creature why you are in God. Those wasted years that you don't know God are not counted as part of our lives. Those days he banished the isrealites were take away from the book of Judges.
