2 Chronicles 9:25

What’s the Problem?
These passages are dealing with the same story and same time period yet conflict by a large number in regards to the number of stalls Solomon had. Because its 4 and 40 this could very well be a copyist error but such things poke holes in the idea of a fully preserved God inspired Bible.
