Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 22:2
2 Kings 8:17 states that Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, while 2 Chronicles 22:2 says Ahaziah, his son, was forty-two, which conflicts with the timeline as Jehoram only reigned for eight years.
2 Chronicles 22:2: Forty and two years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was] Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction involves the age and reign of King Jehoram of Judah. In 2 Kings 8:17, it's indicated that Jehoram was 32 years old and reigned for 8 years. However, other biblical passages, like 2 Chronicles 21:20 and 2 Kings 1:17, suggest different timelines and overlaps with the reigns of other kings, leading to confusion about the exact chronology.
