Inventing a strained interpretation of the Bible in order to support a conclusion you’ve decided on ahead of time is sinful, as it is written: “And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.”
That’s sloppy, even for a random quote. The immediately preceding verse is “The foundation of the temple of the LORD was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv.”
11 − 7 = 4.
Whatever the flaws of the book of First Kings, failures of basic arithmetic in the literal text isn’t one of them.
