Perhaps, but I think the point is that the King James says "stalls" in both places. Some scholars point out that the word translated in 2 Chron. 9:25 is slightly different. It has a yod in it that is lacking in the word found in 1 Kings 4:26. The yod stands for ten, so some think that 2 Chron. 9:25 refers to 4,000 stables, each with 10 stalls in it, and the 1 Kings 4:26 passage refers to each individual stall, making 40,000 in all.

Consider that in Mark 6:8, the word staff is singular, whereas in the other passages, it refers to staves (plural). Also note how the Mat. passage refers to not taking shoes (plural). The Mark passage refers to being shod with sandals. Therefore, the solution here is that they were to take one staff but not more than that, one pair of sandals that they wore, but not extra. I think it is interesting that Mark is the one who focuses upon these individual items being allowed, because he was the one who abandoned Paul and Barnabas on their apostolic ministry trip. It seems to me that he might have picked Peter's brain a bit about exactly what they were allowed to bring with them. :-) DaveH, I don't think there is any translating problem in these latter passages. You have a point about the first examples. Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
