In 2Kings 16:6 it says At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria and drave the Jews from Elath, and dwelt there until this day. You are using the infamous DARBY "translation". That is no Bible, it is a JOKEBOOK! Next you will be quoting from the National Geographic and The Commerce Business Daily. Look at that verse in REAL Bibles and see that they say nothing at all about Jews. You are betting on the wrong horse!

Boy are you cracked in the head!

Everyone who has seen any of my posts on the subject knows I only use the King James.

I did check the NIV and NASB and they don't read Jews!

The King James strikes again!

And the Darby had it also?

Well, he got it right, because he followed the right reading found in the Bible.

Yes, this is an excellent example of a problem causing people to disagree unnecessarily, caused by a mistranslation (or by editorial bias) in the original King James Version.  "Men of Judah" was not the same as "Jews".

There are many such examples of KJV errors. They are well documented.  This error and many others were corrected in the NKJV and other later Bibles.

This example points out the need for constant vigilance and reevaluation of what mere men have done before. The word "Jew" was not in the original source documents.
