September 20 at 7:19 PM · 2 Samuel 21:8 Michal or Merab? Is there and error in the Hebrew Text?https://brandplucked.webs.com/2sam218michalmerab.htm2 Samuel 21:8 KJB – “and the five sons of MICHAL the daughter of Saul, whom she BROUGHT UP FOR Adriel…”2 Samuel 21:8 – ESV, NIV, NASB – “and the five sons of MERAB, the daughter of Saul, whom she BORE TO Adriel…”Since Michal was childless until her death, it was asked how could she have five sons. There are several Bible critics and commentators who tell us that not only is the A.V. or King James Bible in error here, but that the Hebrew texts themselves have been corrupted.The NASB, ESV, NET, NIV, Catholic St. Joseph NAB 1970 and the Catholic New Jerusalem bible 1985 have changed this verse to read: “the five sons of MERAB, the daughter of Saul”First of all, the Hebrew Masoretic text clearly says: “and the five sons of MICHAL the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel…” Notice that the King James Bible says “whom she BROUGHT UP FOR Ariel”.The first major English version to change the Hebrew text was the liberal Revised Standard Version. Since then others like the NASB, RSV, NRSV, ESV, NET, Holman Standard, some modern Catholic versions and the NIV editors have followed suit.They do not believe God has preserved His words. They look at this verse and think the Hebrew texts must be wrong. So they correct it, supposedly on the basis of a two Hebrew manuscripts (but not the Masoretic Text) and “SOME LXX”.See why the Hebrew text and the King James Bible are right how this only apparent contradiction is explained here –https://brandplucked.webs.com/2sam218michalmerab.htmBRANDPLUCKED.WEBS.COMAnother King James Bible Believer
