Welcome to the new-and-improved KingDavid8.com! I finally have all of the contents from my old site transferred here, so everything should be working properly. Please let me know if you find any "dead links". My pages also have boxes where readers can leave comments and criticisms, so don't be shy.
This website is mostly aimed at providing arguments and evidence for the non-Christian, the Christian who may be struggling with what he or she believes, or those Christians who are interested in reaching out to others.
My opinions may contradict what other Christians believe, but many of my arguments are also based on arguments given by a variety of Christian sources. I especially owe a debt of gratitude to the writings of Glenn Miller, J.P. Holding, Paul Maier, Grant R. Jeffrey, Lee Strobel, and Gerald Schroeder.
Please feel free to borrow ideas or arguments of mine (since many of them were not mine to begin with). I do ask that if you quote from my site directly, to please credit me.
How Many Levites Were There?
Number 3:39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

The text is too long to copy in here, but Numbers 3:17-38 give the subtotals for each family add up to 22,300, a difference of three hundred from the grand total given in 3:39.
----------------------
It's possible the number given in 3:39 was an approximation (and an approximation is not an error), or it's also possible that the '300' (which is a single character in Hebrew) was in the original text, but was later dropped due to a transcription error. Either way, there were no errors in the original text, so this is not a contradiction
