You just showed me something new here.Sloppy work in a book he doesn't care about.
How do you know?
"not always SEEM to agree"? If you read your Bible you'll see they sometimes outright DON'T agree.
And just where is this written down?
Okay!, Okay! My turn to cherry pick the Bible.
Q. Does the Bible Contradict Itself ?
A. It Shore Does.
How old was Ahaziah when he began to rule over Jerusalem?
22. 2 Kings 8:26 26 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.Who was the father of Shelah/Sala?
42. 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.
Cainan. Luke 3:35-36 . . . which was the son of Sala, 36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad,Jesus came into Jerusalem with how many animals?
Arpachshad. Genesis II: 12 When Arpachshad was thirty-five years old, he begot Shelah
One - a colt. Mark 11:7 Luke 19:3 5. And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
Two - a colt and an ***. Matthew 21:7. They brought the *** and the colt and put their garments on them and he sat thereon.
Who killed Goliath?
David. I Samuel 17: 50 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine,....
Elhanan. 2 Samuel 21:19 19 . . . There was another battle with the Philistines, in Gob, and Elhanan, son of Jair from Bethlehem, killed Goliath of Gath

I believe, but I am not sure (I will research it), perhaps different manuscripts may have been used by translators, and one or more of those manuscripts may have contained a writing error in the age.
Various translations differ here. Some say 22. Some say 42.
The obvious correction is 22.

The name Cainan appears in genealogical lists in present copies of the Greek Septuagint, such as the Alexandrine Manuscript of the fifth century C.E. (Ge 10:24; 11:12, 13; 1Ch 1:18 but not 1Ch 1:24), although it is not found in extant Hebrew manuscripts of the Hebrew Scriptures. The name Cainan is also missing at Luke 3:36 in two Bible manuscripts (Papyrus Bodmer 14, 15, of c. 200 C.E.; Codex Bezae, of the fifth century C.E.). This omission is in harmony with the Masoretic text at Genesis 10:24; 11:12, 15; and 1 Chronicles 1:18, according to which Shelah, not Cainan, is the son of Arpachshad.
Most scholars take this to be a copyist’s error. In the Hebrew Scriptures, “Cainan” is not found in this relative position in the genealogical listings in the Hebrew or the Samaritan texts, nor is it in any of the Targums or versions except the Greek Septuagint. And it does not seem that it was even in the earlier copies of the Septuagint, because Josephus, who usually follows the Septuagint, lists Seles (Shelah) next as the son of Arphaxades (Arpachshad). (Jewish Antiquities, I, 146 [vi, 4]) Early writers Irenaeus, Africanus, Eusebius, and Jerome rejected the second “Cainan” in copies of Luke’s account as an interpolation.

Were they not two animals, and Mathew gave more detail.
I didn't research it, What a small insignificant cherry to pick at.

Many scholars think that the original reading of 2 Samuel 21:19 corresponded to 1 Chronicles 20:5, the differences in the two texts having arisen through scribal error.

It's already admitted that there are some copying errors - small insignificant cherries. How does that affect the overwhelming evidence that it is authentic though - big juicy delicious cherries?
