I have not had a look at this text specifically, but what you describe is usually the result of a text forced into a versification which is inappropriate. For many years this software only used KJV like versification until we saw increasingly the impact and constructed a new more flexible system.
This requires then that the text is updated and chances are that you encountered one which is not yet updated.

Numbers 12:16, mentioning Hazeroth, seems to have accidentally become Numbers 13:1 in SpaRV1909. Then Numbers 13:33 in SpaRV1909 contains the contents of verses 32 and 33 in the AKJV. These kinds of errors don't always occur in exactly this way, but they all seem to involve verses "migrating" into other verses and/or chapters. They're rather widespread throughout the SpaRV1909 module (Numbers 29-30, 1 Samuel 23-24, 2 Samuel 20-21, 2 Chronicles 33-34, Job 35-36, Job 38-40 (this one is particularly weird since both chapters 38 and 40 ended up short and 39 has a LOT of bloat), Hosea 11-12, Jonah 1-2, Acts 19-20, 2 Corinthians 13 (maybe effecting Galatians 1 too?)). This isn't guaranteed to be an exhaustive list, it's just all the spots that made my attempt at converting the module to LaTeX go wonky.
