This was my reaction as well - the NASB trying to "correct" the text. In 
fact, if you check the NASB for this verse at
http://bible.crosswalk.com , (you then have to type in the reference and 
choose the translation you want) it includes a refernce to 1 Chr. 23:3, 
which does say "thirty". While the note does not admit to having ammended 
the Hebrew text, that's what it looks like.

So the question is, does the NASB make such "corrections" often?
