I mentioned the wrong verses of the King James Version as compared to the Dead Sea Scrolls. That time passage was only 1600 years.
We could discuss the weird change in the number of people involved in Davids civil war fight with Saul. We hear discussions of Saul having armies of thousands and so David and then neither side can raise an army of over 300 a little later in Kings and such. It is a bit wierd to hold that there wasn't exageration going on here and there or the numbers would be more consistent. At other times there are nealy exactly the same census number given for the size of the population of Israel HUNDRED of years apart. Meaning that someone propably just copied them and were not really reflective of an actual census at those different times. The numbers were meant to have some religious purpose.
