1 Kings 10:14
« on: April 25, 2019, 08:44:29 PM »
During my weekly men Bible study we studied 1 Kings 10:14 most of the newer formats of the bible say that Solomon received 25 tons of gold but if you look in the notes or the older version it say 666 talents of gold.

1) I'm not saying that Solomon is the Antichrist because of Revelation
2) I don't believe in coincidence
3) I understand that one is a number and the other is a value of letter in a name

Has anyone have any connection between the 2 or am I trying to connect 2 nuts with out a threaded rod?

I have been told that "where the Bible doesn't explain, it behooves man to not try on his own".

Something to always remember, if you aren't reading Anceint Hebrew it is a translation.  If it is not the original document it is a copy.  Your #3 is the answer I believe.  Here is a link that might help.

What I had in mind was the answered labeled #1 which is the 2nd answer down that it reflected the sin of Solomon breaking God's laws that he told Solomon not to do.

Great website I will have to bookmark it Thank you
