First Samuel 13 one is a pretty strange example of corruption in the NIV. The King James Bible reads, Saul reigned one year and when he had reigned two years over Israel, Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel and on and on. So it talks about the fact that he reigned a year and then when he had reigned two years, he did this, that, and the other. Listen to what the NIV says, Saul was thirty years old when he became king and he reigned over Israel forty-two years. That's dramatically different. Instead of saying Saul reigned one year and when he had reigned two he did thus and so, it just changes it to the fact that he was thirty years old when he became king and he reigned over Israel forty-two years. Those two statements are completely different from one another, but what's interesting is that in the NIV the number thirty is in brackets and the number forty is in brackets and it says down at the bottom of the page in the footnote that the original Hebrew does not have the word thirty here and the original Hebrew does not have the word forty here. So why did the NIV just add these two numbers to the verse that actually contradict what the Bible teaches elsewhere because the Bible tells us in the book of Acts that Saul reigned for forty years. Here they just insert this made up number in brackets saying he reigned forty-two years. It's not in the original. It's been added by the NIV. They've added the number thirty. We don't know that Saul was thirty years old when he began to reign. That's something that the NIV has fabricated and we also know that he did not reign for forty-two years. That's fabricated by the NIV. He reigned for forty years according to what the Bible teaches. So this is just another example of error in the NIV, just adding numbers in, just made up numbers that completely change the meaning of the verse.
