There are only *THREE* occurrences! Three instances within the "grand" scheme of things (pun intended) whereby they are not rounded numbers but *ALL* digits are included within the number.
So what are the odds that Solomon's number would be included within the Book of Mormon?
12,532 - 1,000 = 1 in 11,532
In my judgment, the number "a thousand and five" is one of the most peculiar numbers in the entire Bible. It represents something very sentimental and yet mysterious and is directly associated with the personal accomplishment of arguably the most famous king of the Bible. Indeed, "a thousand and five" is unique and I argue that it received special attention in Smith's Book of Mormon via plagiarism as it was secreted deep within the book hidden up for all this time under everyone's very nose. I'm afraid the Mormons have been blinded by the craftiness of Joseph. It was a crafty psychological trick he employed in order to give his book a special quality that would go unobserved by the conscious mind for 192 years -- duping everyone who read it!
But the cat is now out of the bag here on Discuss Mormonism!
