Okay. We'll start with an easy one.
God sent his prophet to threaten David with how many years of famine?
Seven (2 Samuel 24:13)
Three (I Chronicles 21:12)
Reading both of these, it's pretty clear that 7 and 3 are two different numbers. The rest of the passages were virtually identical.

The total was 7 years. But they had already been in famine for almost 4 years. So David was offering 3 more. For a total of 7. The context passages: http://bible.com/100/2sa.21.1.nasb Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the presence of the L ord . And the L ord said, "It is for Saul and his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death." http://bible.com/100/2sa.24.8.nasb So when they had gone about through the whole land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days" Three years of famine prior to the census then famine for almost another year during the census. Then David offered 3 more years.

Okay, you justified the discrepancy but it's still there regardless. One account says God said there will be 3 years (I guess he meant three more) the other account said 7 years (he really meant total) but which did he actually say?
