I should have looked at the English versions before posting this. Since
your question isn't really answered by my comment. All the English
versions I have at hand put 12:18 into 13:1 without it being dependent
on the textual issue. So the editors of the english versions do not
follow the thinking of H.B.Swete on this issue.
