perhaps, the Lord caused there to be a discrepancy between one verse and another
"it is impossible for God to lie" (Heb 6:18; Tit 1:2)
The word of God is perfect, sure, right, pure, enduring, and true (Ps 19:7-9)

"discrepancy" is never in God's description of inspiration.

The KJV has flaws just like every other translation because it is just...a translation.
Is it reliable? yes. Is it authoritatively special? no.

The more I consider it, the more I believe that the kjv is inspired and inerrant.

He has magnified His word (the kjv) above all His name (Psalms 138:2).

If God wanted to portray a truth of biblical numerology by having the Bible authors pen differences in numbers, as concerning things like numbers of horses in a stall, then of course He would not be lying in that portrayal of biblical numerology; since He would be indicating a truth through that numerology. Even if there were a discrepancy between verses, God would be considering the truth that can be learned numerologically to be more important than the factual relation of how many horses were in the stall. As a matter of fact, one number may relate to the fact of the number while the other number may relate what we are to learn from the numerology of what is in the passage.
