September 2024

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia, and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Ahaziah of Judah. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use your sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. Frost 13:29, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not make a joke but just put some attention to the simple fact that the writer of Chronicles have him become king at age 42, while his father died at age 40, so this is clearly impossible. As are basically all numbers mentioned in Chronicles, see also f.i. the nonsical large armies mentioned, which would have been big enough to conquer the entire known world at that time (and could never have been sustained by the relatively small Judean population). I might even go as far as to say the Bible would be a much better book without it, it is just rewriting Samuel and Kings in an often distorted and more biassed way. So when trying to reconstruct the early history of the region on the basis of what is mentioned in the Bible (hard enough as it is, given the biassed view of the writers), one can really not consider the book of Chronicles as a source of any importance. It was written much later then the Deuteromistic history and when more details are given, one can only assume creative writing, usually to make events more grand (see f.i. the death of Josia). So it might be considered a good practice for Wikipedia articles to never mention any opposing views from Chronicles, unless a third independent source (so not Josephus) is supporting evidence.
